May 13, 2026, Plas Newydd National Trust Café

The Old Dairy Café, located next to the visitor centre, is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of tea or coffee. It once served as a dairy for the estate, but nowadays you can enjoy a variety of hot and cold dishes. Local and Fairtrade products are used wherever possible and all cakes and treats are baked fresh daily by an in-house baker. With savoury snacks, delicious cakes, cream tea and local ice cream, there is something for everyone and always something new to try. (National Trust)

Plas Newydd is a country house, surrounded by gardens, parkland and woodland on the north shore of the Menai Strait, in Anglesey, Wales. The present building dates from 1470 and has grown over the centuries to become one of Anglesey's most important residences. It was successively owned by the Griffiths, Baylys and Pagets families and became the country seat of the Marquesses of Anglesey and the heart of a large agricultural estate. The house and grounds, overlooking the strait and Snowdonia, are open to the public and have been owned by the National Trust since 1976. (Wikipedia)

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.

As rail travel became increasing popular in the mid nineteenth century, it was deemed necessary for a rail link across the Menai Strait for the convenience of MPs travelling to and from Ireland. The possibility of adding a rail line across the Menai Suspension Bridge was investigated, but found to be inappropriate. Therefore a second bridge across the Menai Strait was commissioned.
