Menai Bridge

Menai Bridge is a town on Isle of Anglesey that spreads along the banks of the Menai Strait. Two major bridges connect the island to mainland Wales and define the character of the settlement.

The famous Menai Suspension Bridge was built in 1826 by Thomas Telford as the world's first iron suspension bridge. A century later, the Britannia Bridge was added as a second major connection between the island and mainland.

The town maintains its Welsh heritage through bilingual education at Ysgol David Hughes comprehensive school and regular celebrations of the traditional Ffair Borth fair.

The town offers parking, electric vehicle charging stations, and public restrooms in the town center. Visitors can find restaurants and shops that are easily accessible throughout the area.

The Belgium Promenade was built between 1914 and 1916 by World War I refugees from Belgium. This historic path leads to St Tysilio's Church, which sits on a small island with roots reaching back centuries.
