Menai Bridge (or 'Porthaethwy' in Welsh) has always been a bustling town located in a strategic position on the banks of the famous stretch of water known as the Menai Strait, a tidal body of water which separates the Isle of Anglesey from the mainland. The town was naturally seen as the best place to cross by ferry before the Thomas Telford suspension bridge was built in 1826, the bridge being constructed from limestone quarried from nearby Penmon with the section of road spanning some 579 feet. This iconic landmark is etched on peoples' minds when think of this location, something which is driven home by countless films and TV documentaries which have been made of the area. You can't really say you've been to Menai Bridge without having crossed the suspension bridge. The location sells itself really, stretching from the superb sandy beach at Llanddwyn Island near Newborough, passing beneath the two iconic bridges, the pretty castle town of Beaumaris and on past the lighthouse off Black Point and Puffin Island just off the eastern tip of the island. The town itself is a hive of activity on a number of levels with the main street proving quite a draw with shoppers looking for something a little different with many traditional shop frontages trading in ware that can't be found on your typical high street. It's also a great place to eat, wine and dine with an excellent restaurant including the Michelin stared Sosban, traditional taverns and pubs, as well as fast food outlets to meet all tastes and budgets. There's even a Waitrose supermarket and heritage centre. Menai Bridge is naturally a choice location for launch sailing vessels of all shapes and sizes from kayaks to yachts, motor boats to jet skis whilst offering repair and storage facilities. Bangor University has facilities here, where their research vessel 'Prince Madog' is moored off the pier, undertaking voyages to far flung corners of the globe giving students a thrilling experience whilst studying.
