Tips from the Community
Nice station building featuring the fanous sign with the 58 character long name of the place, which is commonly used in one of its shorter forms. At the tourist trap on the other side of the parling lot is a translation into English, while the sign on the platform provides pronounciation guidance. Probably besides the Marquess of Anglesey's Column the only really highlight in this place.

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch The name was coined by a Welshman after the railway line was established in the 19th century to entice tourists to disembark. It still attracts tourists today. Translated into English, the name roughly means: St. Mary at the White Hazel Pool next to the rapids and St. Tysilio Church near the red cave.

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.

The old suspension bridge is definitely the more scenic way to enter Anglesey than the main bridge that carries the A55.
