Red Squirrel at Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens

Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens are home to Red Squirrels, one of the few places in the UK where they are thriving. Reds don't hibernate, they hide food (squirrel it away!) for emergencies. The Squirrels at Plas Cadnant live in our beautiful woods which have been designated SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest). If you fancy a bit of squirrel spotting yourself, (although they are quite shy!) we are open to the public, see our website for details of seasonal opening times; plascadnantgardens.co.uk

Places to see in ( Menai Bridge - UK )

Menai Bridge is a small town and community on the Isle of Anglesey in north-west Wales. It overlooks the Menai Strait and lies by the Menai Suspension Bridge, built in 1826 by Thomas Telford, just over the water from Bangor.

There are many small islands near the town, including Church Island. The Menai Heritage Centre celebrates the world-famous Menai Suspension Bridge, built by Thomas Telford, and the Britannia Bridge, built by Robert Stephenson.

In the 9th century, St Tysilio lived here as a hermit on Church Island. A ferry across the Menai was first recorded in 1292. When the bridge opened in 1826, the ferry closed, but connections with the sea remained through the import, export and shipbuilding trades. From 1877 to 1920, the ship HMS Clio was docked at Menai Bridge; it was lent to the North Wales Society to teach young men the ways of seafaring.

There are a number of small islands in the Menai Strait some of which are connected to the town by causeways, including Ynys Faelog, Ynys Gaint, Ynys Castell and Ynys y Bîg east of the suspension bridge and Church Island (Ynys Tysilio in Welsh) west of the bridge. The Isle of Anglesey Coastal Path passes along the waterfront. Menai Bridge has several churches and chapels, including an English and Welsh Presbyterian church and a Catholic church. The town also has a primary school, Ysgol y Borth, and a large bilingual comprehensive school, Ysgol David Hughes. Menai Bridge is home to the School of Ocean Sciences, part of Bangor University. Their research ship, the Prince Madog, is based at the pier when not at sea.

Attractions in Menai Bridge include the 14th-century Church of St Tysilio, St George's Pier, a butterfly house, Pili Palas, and the Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens, a 200-acre (80 hectare) estate originally developed as a picturesque garden in the 1800s. The garden had been the site of restoration for twenty years. In December 2015, heavy rains caused flooding which washed away rare plants representing twenty years of work by Anthony Tavernor. Tavernor received some help to restore the garden, enabling him and his small staff to begin rebuilding and replanting the garden. Tavernor hoped to be able to reopen the site to visitors by Easter, 2016.

Menai Bridge includes the development along Beaumaris Road known as Glyn Garth. This was a favoured location for holiday houses for the wealthy from the Manchester and Liverpool areas in the late 19th century, and many large houses of that period remain. This was also where the Bishop of Bangor had his palace. The palace was demolished in the early 1960s and replaced by a block of flats, Glyn Garth Court, completed in 1966.

Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens - Wales

In 1996 work began on the restoration of the historic garden and grounds, the home of the Price family since c1804.

The gardens have undergone a spectacular transformation and are being restored to their former glory.

Something new on the scene - an energetic redevelopment of a 19th century garden. Every woodland flowering tree and shrub you could name, sheets of primulas, long parallel herbaceous borders and a little picturesque river valley you will never forget.

Plas Newydd, Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Anglesey, North Wales

Plas Newydd , a large neo-Gothic mansion, was extensively remodeled in the 18th Century. Perfectly sited on the edge of the Menai Strait at Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Anglesey, North Wales, this imposing house has a commanding view of the Menai Strait with the entire range of the Snowdonia mountains as a backdrop. Now a National Trust property, it has long been the country seat of the Marquess of Anglesey (the 7th Marquess of Anglesey died in 2013).








The walls of interior of the mansion are totally covered with gilt-framed oil paintings, and in a large dining room, a 17.7 by 3.7 m trompe-l'oeil mural painted by Rex Whistler's covers an entire wall. By contrast, the more casual furnishings of the recent owners provide a glimpse of everyday family life. As customary, all of the major rooms have individual fireplaces --- now, the National Trust is installing a heat pump system, to be powered by the deep waters of the Menai Strait.

Outside, the extensive grounds range from natural woodland and an arboretum to a formal Italianate terrace flower garden. During the late summer/early autumn months, massed hydrangea bushes are smothered with pink and blue flower heads, while the terrace flower beds are filled with vibrantly colored yellow and scarlet flowers such as dahlias, crocosmias, Canna lilies, and cone flowers.

Autumn at Plas Newydd, Llangollen

Plas Newydd (New Hall) was the home for over 50 years of a pair of eccentric aristocratic Irish spinsters, Sarah Ponsonby and Eleanor Butler, who moved to North Wales in the latter half of the 18th century.

Often pictured in black riding clothes and top hats, they became celebrities among the artistic and intellectual community, collecting works of art and decorating their house with antique carvings that have occasionally made it a location for fantasy movies. The equally dramatic hilltop ruin of Castell Dinas Brân looms in the background. Poets and painters were frequent guests of the Ladies. William Wordsworth wrote a sonnet in the landscaped grounds, which were in the forefront of the Romantic and Gothic Revival movements.

The extensive gardens are beautiful at all times of year, but particularly in the spring when they are carpeted with crocuses, and in autumn with the beech foliage at its golden best. A wooded valley with a stream, stone bridges and picturesque rustic and Gothick summerhouses borders the gardens to the east.

If you're not used to Welsh place names, Newydd is pronounced neh-with, the second syllable being identical to the English word with. For the town, Thlangothlen is close enough, though the ll is properly pronounced by saying l and blowing at the same time.
