Menai Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Historical Site

Designed by Scottish architect Thomas Telford, the Menai Suspension Bridge links the island of Anglesey with mainland Wales. The completion of the bridge in 1826 made the island accessible via road for the first time. The beautiful bridge was promoted to UNESCO as a candidate World Heritage site in 2005.

Belgian Promenade

Highlight • Viewpoint

During the First World War, refugees from German-occupied Mechelen (or Malines) in Belgium were accommodated in Menai Bridge. In gratitude for the town’s hospitality, they built this promenade along the Menai Strait from Ynys Tysilio (Church Island) to Carreg yr Halen, completing it in 1916.

It was rebuilt in 1963. The ceremonial reopening in 1965 was performed by the only surviving refugee, Eduard Wilhelms. The promenade was resurfaced in 2000 as part of a millennium project.
