Tips from the Community
The Old Dairy Café, located next to the visitor centre, is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. It once served as a dairy for the estate, but nowadays you can enjoy a variety of hot and cold dishes. Local and Fairtrade products are used wherever possible and all cakes and treats are baked fresh daily by an in-house baker. With savoury snacks, delicious cakes, cream tea and local ice cream, there is something for everyone and always something new to try. (National Trust)

Plas Newydd is a country house, surrounded by gardens, parkland and woodland on the north shore of the Menai Strait, in Anglesey, Wales. The present building dates from 1470 and has grown over the centuries to become one of Anglesey's most important residences. It was successively owned by the Griffiths, Baylys and Pagets families and became the country seat of the Marquesses of Anglesey and the heart of a large agricultural estate. The house and grounds, overlooking the strait and Snowdonia, are open to the public and have been owned by the National Trust since 1976. (Wikipedia)

On the longest day of the year, sunlight flows into the passageway of this Neolithic burial grounds. Bryn Celli Ddu Burial Chamber is one of Anglesey’s most famous prehistoric landmarks, Bryn Celli Ddu (the ‘Mound in the Dark Grove’ in English) is actually two sites in one. In the early Neolithic (New Stone Age) period, a henge (bank and ditch) enclosing a circle of stones was built here, to be replaced later by a chambered tomb beneath a mound measuring up to 85ft/26m in diameter. Inside, a long, narrow passage leads to an octagonal chamber 8 feet/2.4m across, where artefacts such as human bones, arrowheads, and carved stones have been found.

During the First World War, refugees from German-occupied Mechelen (or Malines) in Belgium were accommodated in Menai Bridge. In gratitude for the town’s hospitality, they built this promenade along the Menai Strait from Ynys Tysilio (Church Island) to Carreg yr Halen, completing it in 1916. It was rebuilt in 1963. The ceremonial reopening in 1965 was performed by the only surviving refugee, Eduard Wilhelms. The promenade was resurfaced in 2000 as part of a millennium project.
