Menai Bridge

Acting as a gateway to Anglesey, this largely Victorian town grew and developed after the construction of Thomas Telford’s Menai Suspension Bridge, which connects the island to mainland Wales. The waterfront is a popular place for anglers and for those wishing to view the annual Regatta on the Menai Strait held every August, as well as for the promenade, known as the Belgian Promenade because it was built by refugees from Belgium who sought shelter here during World War I.

On Church Island, reached by a causeway from the town, there is the 14th-century St Tysilio’s Church, built on the site of a foundation by St Tysilio in AD630. The site is thought to have been visited by Archbishop Baldwin and Giraldus when they may have landed here in 1188. It can be reached by a short causeway from the Belgian Promenade.

For a place with a difference, Pili Palas (Butterfly Palace) is an interesting and unusual attraction that will delight everyone. The vast collection of exotic butterflies and birds, from all over the world, can be seen in tropical environments, where visitors can marvel at the colourful creatures and see the wonderful tropical plants. There is also a Tropical Hide, an amazing Ant Avenue and a Snake House, and while adults relax in Pili Palas’ café, children can let off steam in the adventure play area.
