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.

Magical 11.11 Sundial Moments at St. Tysilio's in Wales
The sun shone throughout our winter solstice morning visit to this beautiful 13th-century church dedicated to 7th-century Saint Tysilio. We chanted and sent out thoughts of light, love and peace at 11.11 a.m. And then the local caretaker Gladys, aged 76, turned up to greet us and tell us a bit about the history of the church she's been attending for 70 years. I was even invited to carry the crib containing baby Jesus into the church for the forthcoming nativity service. We then visited the waterfalls in the wooded valley behind the church, leading down to the sea. All in all, a very magical way to spend this very special December 21st.

We are Kev & Yvonne and 3 Shih Tzu's, Charlie, Dolly & Delilah we first started our travels in a converted VW T6 that we brought from new as a panel van. After one year of travelling around we decided we need to find something that was more comfortable and less strenuous to set up.
That's when we fell in love with the Knaus Motorhome.
This is some of the videos and pictures we have taken on our motorhome travels around the UK.
Motorhome: Knaus Sun Ti 650MF
We travel around the country and more recently Europe in our Motorhome with our three Shih Tzu’s taking wildlife photography and flying our drone for aerial photography and love to share it with a wider audience. We would like to take further steps and start doing commentary about the things that we see on our travels as our channel grows.

Menai Crossings
The Menai Suspension Bridge was the first to cross the Menai Strait – a fast-flowing stretch of tidal water that was 1,300ft (400m) wide at its narrowest point. Before the bridge went up the only way across the channel was by ferry.
Engineer Thomas Telford was asked to survey the strait for a suitable crossing. He recommended a suspension bridge as high banks and fast moving currents meant it would be difficult to build on the sea bed. It would also be high enough to let tall ships pass under it – Admiralty rules at the time demanded clearance of 100ft (30m) above high water.
The Menai suspension bridge made it quicker and far safer to get people and goods from Anglesey to Wales. The bridge boosted the local economy and was particularly good news for local farmers who no longer had to swim their produce across the channel.
The Britannia bridge was also part of the expansion of the railways across Britain in the 1850s. Engineer Robert Stephenson used a tubular design with trains running on tracks inside a rigid box girder structure. It was the first direct rail link between London and the port of Holyhead. It also reduced journey times between Anglesey and the capital.
