Historic Sites
Caernarfon Castle, a World Heritage fortress located by the river, has a rich history dating back to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. The castle was built by Hugh d'Avranches, Earl of Chester, and played a significant role in Welsh history. Today, visitors can explore the castle's museum which showcases the history of Wales' oldest infantry regiment spanning over 300 years.
Visited today with family and had a fantastic time! Having visited a number of castles over the years, I was really impressed with how well kept the entire castle was without losing it's history.
It is an immense place to explore with loads of intact towers and ramparts to explore and get unbelievable views over the town.
The entry fee is very reasonable and they offer a range of discounts including free carer tickets and blue light discount.
Inside the ground is uneven which is to be expected but efforts have been made to create ramps where possible to make it slightly wheelchair accessible. Inside the grounds you will also find a cafe and toilets.
I do want to make a special mention of the Changing Places disabled toilet. The fact that there is a place that you can take any disabled person and easily change them is amazing and deserves a special mention. The fact that you have a full size adult changing bed with hoist is a fantastic facility to have.
The castle doesn't have dedicated parking however there is a pay and display car park right next to the castle so it might as well be considered dedicated parking.

For a short break between train journeys, we arrived on the Welsh Highland Railway and visited the castle.
It was our first visit and we enjoyed our time walking around. Our grandson managed the narrow steps up and down the towers. We had about an hour and it was enough time to walk around most of the site. It was a five minute walk from the station. The towers have narrow steps which might prove a challenge and the ropes help.
The views from the top of the castle were amazing, across the harbour and out to sea, and towards Snowdonia.
A great place to bring children and the lift to view the castle is a bonus.
Was hard to find parking, while walking up to castles, lots of places to eat/ shop. They had audio guided tours, a video explaining the castle, you are able to climb the tower ruins, and there is a museum of badges of honor, as well as a military museum. The staff was friendly, and told us to see the video first, and where to go after. This is one of my favorites, out of the seven, I visited. Explained about the ties with The Prince of Wales. Very informative.
Loved it. Lots of history here.
This castle is well preserved and authentic looking. This alone makes it 5 stars. Castle fans will have fun here.
But! This means danger as well. The spiral staircase can be dangerous to say the least. Especially in the down pour that we were in. Many of the steps are only a couple inches wide, barely enough for a toe or heel. You're given a rope (soaking wet in our case) to hang into as you climb up or down.
If you explore more, you'll find you can get to to the walls with regular stairs. And if you think even those are too difficult, there is an elevator. Ask the staff to direct you to it.
The museum is interesting, but has very little to do with the castle itself, more about war in general.
There are recorded voice guides you can listen to if you pay the £3 price for the device. I'm not sure why this has a cost when the same device at castell coch was free.
It’s a good experience for a few hours; plenty of passageways to explore and views across the town, harbour and Menai Straights. The military museum within the walls of the castle is worth noting if you are interested in such things. There is a coffee shop within the grounds and toilets too.
Spent 2hrs with a toddler and baby going up and down towers, running around the walls. Toddler had a fantastic time, with close supervision at all times (large drops off walls, very steep steps, etc). Baby needed to be in a carrier as pushchair is obviously not going up into the towers.
There is a raised area (above the great hall) which has got lift access, which offers lovely views and gives you the same sort of experience as climbing the towers, so don't feel out of it you have limited mobility. Great baby change and disabled changing facilities - very clean.
This is a great castle to visit! A few more slightly finished rooms allow you to get more of a sense of how things would have looked than some other castles we’ve visited. There are also some rooms with more of an actual exhibit in them that help teach some of the history as well. Interesting to learn about the ceremony that took place here when Charles was invested as Prince of Wales. Great views from the top walls and turrets! There is also a very in depth museum about the Royal Welch Fusiliers inside the castle walls.
Fabulous place, wear good comfortable shoes there are lots of steps which are obviously, old, worn, wet, steep, narrow etc but worth the climb up the towers, museum in one part, lovely new sculptures dotted about the place. Little outdoor cafe area for drinks, sandwiches and cakes which is very reasonably priced, 2 coffees and 2 cakes for £10. We were there over 2 hours but could have spent more time, if you only want to go up a couple of towers do 2 at opposite ends to get different views and perspectives. Little shop sells lovely locally handmade items as well as usual Cadw/English Heritage pencils etc. Well worth a visit and Caernarfon town looking good too, especially the area within the castle walls. Car park is in the shadow of the castle, see pictures for price, public toilets in car park as well

The staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. Whether you're stopping by for a drink or staying for a meal, you’ll leave smiling. Highly recommend!

Food was amazing and the view breath taking. We wanted to visit the castle but stopped first at this lovely pub for food and we loved it. We will most definitely be back again. I totally recommend it.
The food was excellent; fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from start to finish. The views were stunning, adding to the relaxed atmosphere. The beer was cold, crisp, and refreshing. Overall, a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this place for great food, service, and scenery.
Had a great time at the pub. The food was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was relaxed and cozy. Everything was clean and well organized. I would definitely recommend this place and would gladly visit again
Great location and views over to Angelsey. Had dinner here and it was tasty . Service was good and the young men doing the waiter service and bar were really polite and efficient. The only thing was the toilets were poor. They smelt bad and needed cleaning. On the wall was a vending machine selling dodgy, love aid tablets. This looked terrible. Added to the seedy toilet. This was the men's toilet. Get rid of it. Employ a good cleaner. Being dog friendly is a pub bonus.
I visited the Anglesey Arms with two friends mainly for an overdue catch up and a couple of drinks, the sun was shining and the location of this place is second to none! It was very busy when we arrived but the staff were quick to serve. The only thing that annoyed us was the wasps as we decided to sit outside but that’s not the pub’s fault, it didn’t ruin what was otherwise a very pleasant afternoon
First visit for a few years because it became shabby, service got very slow, tables didn't get wiped very often and the wait for food was so long I could have swam to Anglesey and back. Called in a couple of days ago with a friend who was staying with me from London and thought I had walked into a different place. The new owner has made it cleaner and nicer, he is far more welcoming than the last time we went. I can't comment on the food as we didn't eat but we will go back now we know it has changed. Great views across the sea, great sunsets and plenty of seating outside too. Definitely worth a visit now
Called in for food, excellent service, tasted amazing and the welcome for us especially as we had a little dog was really nice, even gave him a free sausage 😋 defo be back.

Aquarium
Nature & Parks
Anglesey Sea Zoo is a captivating aquarium that showcases the diverse marine life of North Wales. Visitors can witness live diving displays and explore a shark pool while learning about conservation efforts. The venue features an array of sea creatures, from lobsters and wrasse to brine shrimp and flatfish, all set within meticulously recreated environments like quaysides and shipwrecks. Daily feedings of conger eels or sharks add to the immersive experience.
This was a great day out. Fun for kids on site with the zoo and also mini golf. It was nice to sit and listen to the staff's knowledge of the area and the wildlife.. preservation is key to the work that they do here.
All of the marine life were amazing to see, especially I must say the baby skates.
Great for families and adults.
Easy to get to

It's not a massive place but is nice for a visit. It has disabled parking, but these aren't laid out wider bays, just 4 ordinary bays allocated as blue badge only. There is a disabled toilet outside the building, but not practical for wheelchair access due to the metal lip at the entrance. Inside it was very worn with rust on the metal rails. The animal tanks have seen better days and there were some with animals inside with no natural habitat, but the layout was pleasant and informative. There is a cobbled path that takes you around the exhibits, and it is manageable for a wheelchair user. Whilst 'accessible' for the most part, this is not by precise design and there are some ramps/inclines that are steep, and loose gravel in the car park, which makes it more difficult for wheelchair users. Saying that, the majority of the exhibits were accessible and easy to view from a wheelchair. There is a specific concession for carers, with free access on production of proof of being a carer. We produced our National Trust Carer Card and this was accepted. The entrance fee isn't bad, and was overall an enjoyable hour. A nice cafe and gift shop.
Small local sea life places beat the big ones anyday, love the quirky exhibits. Really enjoyed the lobsters and octopus, the play area was for smaller kids really and there was a bit of a long wait for food but otherwise a nice little day and great views. Would recommend.
Not a bad little sea life centre with good viewing areas. But it was slightly over charged for the size! Would say it would be better for a younger family as there is a play area and mine golf outside that my older children wasn't interested in.
I first visited this place 30+ years ago, & wasn't disappointed this time either. Lovely exhibits of local marine life, knowledgeable staff and very helpful and friendly. I must give special thanks to Megan who worked in the gift shop/cafe. She was so patient, helpful and knowledgeable about the gifts, with a lovely, bubbly personality to match.
We visited on a rainy day and left slightly disappointed. While the Menai views outside the zoo are stunning, the actual building feels quite dated and relatively small. There are some interesting creatures and informative displays, but the whole place would benefit from some investment and serious TLC. The cleanliness of the aquariums and the overall quality of the displays leave much to be desired, and everything feels rather outdated. I wouldn’t visit again.
You can't book tickets on line, we came over on a light rain/shower/overcast day, my daughter love sea animals. We rite by the coast and on narrow roads so be careful when driving here. When I arrived it was busy but not heavy. However I do find disorganised car park attendants. When we parked in the overflow, we arrived at the reception there was a big queue. We wait around 20 mins to get to the till. As soon as I saw the inside I thought it was gonna be tight. There was a good selection of different sea animals but the problem I found was very overcrowded, people crawling over each other rather than staying in one place felt like we did a quick walk round cos it can be too much especially for sensory people. Once we finished, we ended up in a shop, overcrowding again but managed to get through again with 5 mins wait until the till. Then I decided to go to the cafe for a drink, the wrong idea again. Wait another 20 mins for services. I'm glad I didn't order hot food because I dared to see how long I would have to wait. The playground is more for underage 8, the golf wasn't open. Overall it is a shame as it has a good view for seeing sea life but felt a bit old, hazard and lack of service and long wait. To be fair it feels like I waited longer than exploring the sea life world.
A great little aquarium. The ticket felt quite pricey but you can go in all week so it was worth it in the end. My toddler loved the place.

Trwyn Penmon Point is situated on the eastern tip of Anglesey, offering breathtaking views of Snowdonia's mountains and the Irish Sea. The area is a haven for seabirds and migrating birds, making it a picturesque and tranquil peninsula where visitors can witness nature at its best.
Wild, windy and blustery. Great place to visit, the nearby Pilot House Cafe is very welcoming, serving some decent pizzas and snacky foods. Very friendly and pleasant staff. Car parking is free although you have to pay £3.50 to enter the road at the old chapel site.

Absolutely love this rocky little beach. There's a toll to access that is basically your parking. The beach is rocky, so best take flip flops to walk around in. When the tide is out there's loads of rock pools, and when it's in then you can swim as the water gets deep quite quickly. There's a lovely little cafe there too that dies great ice cream and has a nice little seating area. We went on bank holiday and it wasn't packed at all. Great views and super relaxed
A beautiful spot, and the cafe is fantastic. Delicious food and drinks, and friendly staff. The only minor drawback is the toll, which is charged no matter how long you stay. And the next morning, around 10 a.m., the man who collected the toll when we drove in knocks on the motorhome and collects another £12.50 for the toll and parking. That's a bit cheeky, considering we haven't even driven on the road yet. That was a rather expensive experience.
Some lovely features here like the light house and the rocky shore line, you can fish here but there's alot of rocks to snag your line on(I did loads) nice little cafe with a good variety of ice cream and drinks. There's a lighthouse just off shore.and some interesting rock formations on the beach, also puffin Island is very close by
Acts as a toll road so is £3.50 to use it per day, payable before you go onto the road.
Plenty of spots to park your van or car overnight.
No rubbish left which was great to see.
Lovely little area £3.50 to either park car at Penmon by the dove cote and church or drive up to the point due to it being a toll road. Lots of rock pools if tide is out
Beautiful spot - to get to see the puffin the boat trip is necessary (available from the other beach side). Cafe place available for snack, team and coffee.
Important ! Keep coins for obligatory payment for crossing over front yard of people’s house. Otherwise long detour!
Due to access being down a private road you have to pay but £1 for my motorbike was great value (£3.50 for a car) but theres no parking fee once at the point. On a sunny warm day like today the views are fantastic. There is a cafe there also.

Scoops Artisan Ice Cream & Dutch Pancakes is a family run ice cream parlour in the heart of Caernarfon, serving up homemade ice cream and Dutch pancakes with all sorts of different toppings. The food is savoury, sweet and vegetarian, and was recommended to us when we were next in Caernarfon - we're so glad we went!
Craving for ice cream when passing by this beautiful street and couldn’t stop myself when found Scoops. Very nice place and amazing pancakes smell just pushing you to grab it but I already had my lunch so leave it for next time. Really enjoyed white chocolate special which was particularly good. Also dog friendly and plenty of seatings.

Excellent pancake shop with a brilliant range of options, lovely atmosphere (indoor and outdoor seating). Brilliant value, especially the kids menu which included a pancake, drink, and ice cream.
Great gluten free options available.
When visiting Caernarfon, we stopped by and had an ice cream as they looked amazing. We are so glad we did. It was absolutely gorgeous. They have different/unique flavours comparing to other places, and they were really good. The prices are quite reasonable as well. We spot other places selling ice cream and none looked as good as this one. If you are in the area, you should try it
Plenty of ice cream & smoothie options, very friendly staff who will let you try some of the unique flavours. Great selections of vegan friendly ones and also a doggy mint ice cream and treats on the side. Sadly no seating as it was a rainy day, so I can’t comment on the decor. I enjoyed the raspberry sorbet and the pineapple smoothie.
We visited the cafe 27th of August, myself, My husband and my son. When we arrived, the cafe was pretty busy. It was advised that we could reserve the next vacant table and come back in 10/15 minutes and that was exactly what we did. On arrival we were seated, ordered our drinks and were advised there would be a 30 minute wait if we ordered pancakes. I was happy to be advised of the waiting time and for us the wait was no problem. The pancakes were really good (savoury), worth the wait, my only disappointment was not having enough room left for a sweet pancake! The main reason for the review was to give credit to the lovely staff, they were brilliant, hard working, informative, helpful and really friendly, nothing was to much trouble. It makes all the difference to be made to feel welcome. It's small and popular cafe, so, where possible, a bit of flexibility doesn't go a miss. Thanks again xx
Food was outstanding. We loved it. Did feel it was quite expensive for 1 pancake. There did not seem to be enough staff to run the restaurant with the amount of customers there were. It looked like everyone was run off their feet and just to busy to focus on customer service. We had to wait 40+ minutes for a pancake each. It was like they were not equipped to deal with larger groups arriving.
Stopped here for an ice-cream passing by and it was lovely!
The girl who served us was so friendly and attentive, she checked the flavours I wanted for me to check they were gluten free before I ordered which I really appreciated!
Brilliant ice-cream and lovely atmosphere, thank you!
Pancakes were very nice but quite pricey for what you get. Lots of flavours, sweet or savoury.
Seating in front and garden room. In front lots of seagulls so beware. Lots of people sitting eating ice cream cones not eating or drinking otherwise.
Looks like it closed at 4 and they were trying to clear up when still eating. Signs weren't clear that they were due to close.

The family were absolutely lovely- genuinely kind and welcoming. The coffee was beautiful, bursting with rich flavor, and paired perfectly with the locally baked cakes that were simply delicious! The experience went beyond the beverage, as we received directions to local landmarks near Newborough Beach, along with useful information on the tides. And as a bonus, we even got a free picture to remember our visit. Kind souls, great coffee, and exceptional service- definitely a must-visit spot!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Lovely speciality coffee, we came just before closing for coffee and cake. The Barra Brith was amazing! Moist and fresh and a cracking big slice too (complete with Welsh butter!) They sell their own coffee beans and we bought a bag too. The coffee tastes amazing! Oat milk is available too! Outdoor seating has a fantastic view. UPDATE - we’ve now had a chance to try the beans we bought when visiting. They’re AMAZING! Lovely smooth chocolatey flavour. I’ll be buying more of these beans, hopefully they sell 1kg bags (photo added of the coffe made at home).
Fantastic cafe. Excellent food and cakes. Coffee was also a big hit. Great service, very friendly. We had our dogs and the outside seating was perfect and undercover for when the heavens opened!!
We had to visit twice as it was so good. Thank you!
A Heartwarming Experience
What a Gem 💎
This cafe is more than just a place for great coffee—it's a heartwarming experience. The mother and son who run it are a fantastic team; you can feel the care and passion they put into everything they do. The son is always so polite and cheerful, and the mother has the kindest smile. The food and drinks are top-notch, but it's their genuine hospitality that keeps me coming back. Supporting this beautiful family business feels good. Do yourself a favor and stop in!
Wild windy day and this little gem was a great stop over on our trip around Anglesea.
Beautiful staff.
Simple menu but tasty and great coffee.
Small place so we we lucky to find a seat on a wild rainy day.
We had a lovely stop at Heritage.
The food was wonderful, the owners delightful... we will be back.
Highly recommend the Brie, apricot and nectarine ciabatta. Delicious 😋
Great little coffee shop,friendly owner, delicious cakes and hot chocolate. Menu varies each week , never had anything here that I didn't thoroughly enjoy.

Amazing brunch spot, coffee and food were to die for, a must visit! Staff were very friendly and accommodating and knew the menu inside out.
They didn't have any croissants when we ordered but advised they were baking some and let us know when they were ready, and they were 100% worth the wait!
Went for brunch and WOW, best I've had in a LONG time. The coffee was amazing and the breakfasts were SO tasty. My usual brekky is an eggs Benedict if eating out and although I was tempted by a big breakfast I went with the pork belly Benedict and it was gorgeous!! Also happy I had some room because we had caramel cruffins and they were to die for. Highly recommend if you're round the Newborough forest area, or anywhere else in Anglesey actually! The service and atmosphere was just as impeccable as the food. A real gem of a place 💎
A truly great find. Fresh local produce from their farm, local seafood, oysters from an oyster farm nearby, really lovely service. You’ll pay a bit more for this meal but it’s worth it for the amazing flavours you won’t get anywhere else. I’d say one of the best meals I’ve had out in years.
What a wonderful find. Lovely place, great helpful service and food was out of this world. Thoroughly recommend it...
Surprise beer and almond croissant while walking the coastal path. Beautiful outdoor seating area, and just what you need after 20 odd miles.
Had a superb brunch this morning. Such a relaxing atmosphere inside the place and the staff were very friendly and attentive throughout. The food - every single bite was packed full of flavour and was of excellent quality too. Thank you! We loved it all!
This is one of the best full breakfasts I've had in ages. You could just tell that the produce used was of really high quality. Good coffee and juice, and my mate's rhubarb juice that he ordered was a taste sensation. Friendly staff, nice decor, and we were even admiring the knives and forks. Not the cheapest you'll find, but I'd say it's worth it. It's also nestled a short drive away from one of the most stunning beaches you'll likely see anywhere.

For day 2, if you don’t mind the extra trek, today covers more off the beaten path places like Zip World Penrhyn Quarry. Not quite as popular as Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens, but still highly rated among many travelers. Accounting for getting around and average time spent, today’s activities could take about 7 hours.

Zipline & Aerial Adventure Parks
Zip World Penrhyn Quarry is an internationally renowned tourist attraction located in the UNESCO world-heritage areas of Snowdonia National Park. It offers adrenaline-pumping experiences such as a 500ft-high zip line for mile-long rides with panoramic views of a slate quarry and the local coastline. The park features activities for all ages, including treetop nets for young adventurers, extreme rides for older children and adults, and even an inland surf lagoon at Surf Snowdonia.
My mum had purchased a "velocity" ride for my stepdad and my partner got it too! The place is beyond beautiful! The quarry is in the hills and has a really positive buzz about the place!! Greeted by a lovely lady at the entrance and immediately she engaged with us! ( Sorry I didn't get her name!) The staff at the restaurant were lovely too!! And the place is so clean. Lots of goodies to buy to remember your day! The rides looked amazing and my family had a brilliant time and by the looks of it so did everyone else!

Amazing day! Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Staff so friendly fun and professional. The whole experience was very well organised from the moment you are kitted out for the shorter zip wire taster run before a truck ride up the mountain which was a fun experience in its self! Once at the top another safety briefing and made ready for your descent and off you go! Cannot describe how amazing the experience and sensation is and can only suggest you try it for yourself you'll love it. Have to admit I have a fear of heights and was so nervous prior to arrival but can honestly say that at no point was I nervous at all. Really is a must do experience!
Amazing, fantastic wonderful just a few words I exclaimed while visiting this adrenalin ride facility. So much fun riding velocity Zip wire and the Gravity Go Karts. Highly recommend a visit if you have chance. The staff are so friendly and fun making the experience even better.
Such an amazing experience. Did velocity and aero explorer. The staff was friendly and super helpful. There is an abundance of parking but there is no electric charging points for electric cars. The views are incredible. Loved it and will be back again
Booked a last minute deal for Quarry Karts and Velocity. Quarry Karts were a blast, it's a massive hill so you really get a good long drive down. Velocity, well, it's terrifying but in a good way. To be honest I was just really impressed with the safety standards, everything is checked twice by different staff members. Gave me confidence to just enjoy the experience. And I didn't meet a single staff member who wasn't pleasant and helpful, and most were chatty and obviously invested in good customer service. In a world where customer service has died, all the major supermarkets could do with learning lessons from this organisation.
Riding the velocity is definitely a bucket list thing, absolutely terrifying but brilliant. Staff are mostly friendly & chatty, and all safety measures are checked twice by different staff members which is very reassuring. The whole place seems to run like a well oiled machine & all the instructions were clear & concise which also helped a lot. It's a must do!
We had a brilliant time at 2 of your sites today ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Quarry karting at Penrhyn quarry The 2 guys running it were excellent very informative and friendly...the drive up to the top was amazing what an experience.
Fast downhill in the karts..tight bends a tunnel and sheep on the track 🐏🐑
3 of us had a go and totally loved it will definitely be back
Next we did the fforest coaster at Betws-y-coed
Again both staff running it were very friendly and informative
3 runs down each and half price because we had booked another activity....bonus 👍👍
See you all again soon
The Whole Experience is a 5-Star Adventure!
What a brilliantly run attraction. The adventure starts with a smaller zip line across the quarry lake, which is a great warm-up for what's to come. Then you hop in one of the big red trucks for a fun, bumpy ride up through the quarry, which is an experience in itself.
The main zip line is simply incredible. The feeling of soaring over the bright blue water is something I'll never forget. The staff deserve a special mention; every single one was professional, reassuring, and their attention to safety was second to none. It allows you to relax and just enjoy the ride.
It was great to see such a mix of ages taking part. A must-do for a hit of pure, thrilling fun. It's the closest thing to being a flying superhero for a day!

Historical landmark
Menai Suspension Bridge, built by Thomas Telford in 1826, is a historic road crossing with a pedestrian walkway that offers stunning views of the Menai Strait. Before the construction of the Expressway, it was the only route to access Anglesey by road. The bridge's impressive architecture and its significance as the first major suspension bridge of its kind make it a must-see attraction.
Beautiful views. Make sure you walk over the pedestrian path to see up the Menai Straits towards Beaumaris and down towards Plas Newydd. Look out for Church Island and the Druid stones. You can spot Heron, Swans and Seals if you're lucky.

Went for a walk and saw this beautiful looking bridge with spectacular views especially on a day with good weather. Will definitely be coming back here when I visit North Wales again.
If you’re passing by, highly recommend stopping by and appreciating the views.
A beautiful bridge connecting Anglesey with the Wales mainland. Lots of walks around it base alongside the Menai Straits on both sides. Treat yourself to a rib ride under it!
The views from this bridge are gorgeous and it's a brilliant bridge all on its own. Pity about the roadworks (July 2025) as we queued for around 20 minutes. The walk across would be even better. Worth a detour if you are in the area.
My favourite bridge, built bt Thomas Telford.
I love the bottle green colour of the sea here and the whirlpools when the tide is high and the sun is out. Looks such a dangerous place to have built such a structure, truly incredible.
A really great experience and impressive historical bridge.well worth a visit if you are travelling nearby. Do spend some time viewing it and a path leads to the bottom where you get some great views and get to appreciate the engineering of this bridge.
Historic and well maintained, great to warlk over and its free. Get great pictures.
Lovely area to go walking along the Menai strait and under the bridge. Follow the coastal path to church island. Great view point between both bridges.
Great selection of shops and places to eat close by.

Castle
Penrhyn Castle & Garden, located in the quaint village of Llandygai in North Wales, is a magnificent country house with a rich history. Originally built as a medieval fortified manor house in the 15th century, it underwent significant modernization and expansion over the years. The current structure, designed by Thomas Hopper in the 19th century, boasts opulent interiors adorned with an impressive collection of fine art.
Lovely castle set in beautiful scenery with a view over the sea and the mountains.
Beautiful gardens to explore and relax in, with ample picnic table spaces.
The castle is definitely worth a visit, with extensive period furniture on display and explanations about interesting details of life in the castle.
The kids loved the little train museum in the cafe courtyard, and the chance to climb onto an actual steam train.
Loved our visit, will definitely come again!

Incredible experience. Our 3, 5 and 7 year old kids loved it. Couldn't believe the size of the castle. The open areas inside the castle were fascinating to explore and beautifully decorated. The games on the gardens around the castle were a lovely bonus for the kids. Would heartily recommend for a family day out.
Stunning location and imposingly built castle beautifully presented as always by the National Trust.
Stonework internally is exquisite. An incredibly unique property with an interesting history (if not troubling)!
There’s a fine cafe which we’ve visited on other occasions. Staff (many of whom are volunteers) were very interesting and kind people, as ever.
If you don’t have a membership to NT, it’s well worth it, a national treasure no less
Also nearby are two other stunning National Trust properties, Bodnant Gardens and Plas Newyd.
One of the best National Trust properties I’ve been to. The castle which was built in the early 1800’s is magnificently imposing and is match by the stunning interior. The cherry on the cake are the beautiful gardens. The staff and volunteers are also very knowledgeable and welcoming.
Well worth a visit. As one of a few national trust properties that has owned up to connections with slavery,we were intrigued. Its good to see that small steps are being made to include the alternative history. More should be mentioned of this, as all history is important. The house and Gardens will not disappoint and the cafe serves lively food. Dog friendly outside and dog friendly cafes in and out
THE most impressive National Trust property I can remember visiting. The money that must have been expended to create such an ornate building boggles the mind. Breathtaking to be able to walk around this amazing building.
Loved the place! The castle is beautiful in and out and has a very interesting history. We took a tour and enjoyed it very much! Very informative and interesting with great fun facts that you won’t find on the boards. Really nice architecture too.
There are obviously many castles in Wales but this one is impressive on so many levels. The castle is stunning and the views are incredible. Inside there is so much to see and outside there are the walled gardens with ponds and lovely flowers. This place is run by the national trust and managed to get some free passes at the time which was handy. Another highly recommended place to visit when in North Wales.

Antelope Inn, located overlooking Menai Bridge, is a popular spot offering bargain-priced dinners with most main dishes priced around 8-9 pounds. They also have a two for 11 offer if you are dining with company. The staff is friendly and accommodating, even holding the kitchen open for late-minute bookings. The food is delicious, with steaks served on sizzling plates and cooked to perfection. The inn offers free parking for customers and caters to various needs including reservations for parties.
This pub beside the Menai bridge was quaint and easy to miss driving past, but it was well worth finding whilst trying to hide from the rain. The food was absolutely beautiful, the fish and chips was cooked to perfection and the sausage and mash had an incredible gravy that almost tasted like beef dripping sauce. The food cost only £13.50 for both plates and was worth spending more on than charged for. The staff were very friendly and helpful and showed us where dogs were allowed. We sat beside the fireplace and had many lovely interactions with other guest appreciating the dog. There is also an incredible view from the terrace of the Menai bridge. I have absolutely no complaints about this place and would absolutely return and recommend it to others.

To start, we were told there would be a 45 min wait for food and we'd have to sit outside. Thankfully, it was a nice evening, so we sat at a table outdoors to wait for our food. I am assuming the 45 min wait was due to a lack of kitchen help because I had to ask twice for parts of both of our dishes once they arrived. There was no dressing on my salad, and there were no vegetables with the surf and turf, although both were clearly stated on the menu. The wait staff were quick to address the issue, but the steak was dry and overcooked and sauces for the steak and chips would cost £1.50 extra for each sauce! The salad, once I had dressing, was okay, but it was a lot of raw red onions with lettuce, tomato and cucumber. I'm glad I ordered a protein to go with it, otherwise, it would have been a boring salad. I cannot recommend Antelope Inn and wouldn't eat there again.
Well located, pet friendly pub with pleasant surroundings. Wonderful view of Menai Bridge from outdoor garden. Plenty of indoor & outdoor seating. Ample parking nearby but don't forget to validate your car registration on arrival, inside the pub. Staff very friendly & service was excellent. Large selection of food & drink. Thank you.
Had a lovely visit to the Antelope Inn in Bangor with my two kids and couldn’t fault a thing. Two of us went for the curry deal and the other had the chicken burger — all the food was tasty, good portions, and excellent value. Puddings were great too.
What really made the visit stand out was the service. The staff were welcoming from the start, and a special mention has to go to Grace behind the bar, who was cheerful, friendly, and made us feel right at home. It’s always nice when staff genuinely enjoy what they do, and it really showed.
Great food, great service, and a warm atmosphere — we’ll definitely be back!
Booking a table is not compulsory but advisory as the tables fill up rather quickly. The service was great with very friendly staff taking consideration towards any allergies or other needs. The food was very satisfying with crunchy skin on fries and a very well structured burger with lightly toasted buns. I also tried a small piece of my wife's gammon which was filled with taste and very succulent.
Not too busy for a Saturday afternoon. Went for food with my Dad.
I had a steak, which I devoured and my Dad had gammon 👌
Excellent service all round.
Good background tunes too
Reasonable prices. Nice staff. Small issue with order (blue cheese sauce missing) but the team sorted it without any hassle. Steak cooked to request and other than the fact that my dish felt a little light on the pulled pork my dish would have been the best. As it was, my daughter's burger looked the best dish But the wife's sticking chicken strips looked the best value
Table with a view . Lovely staff. Good service and even better food. Good value

How wonderful was it to discover this place having been told by a lovely and funny local lady in the car park that there was nowhere worth visiting. (She had a white car with purple trims if you know her...tell her about this place please).
We got chatting with the manager and loved the stories he told us about the owner and how he creates these wonderful dishes and the decor on the alleyway approaching the taproom and unisex toilets (very quirky).
I delighted in a Bibimbap with chicken whilst hubby had a burger and some potatoes that were on the specials board. We both relished each dish with much delight.
Not enthralled with Bangor itself but would certainly go back just to eat here again.
Highly recommended.
A hidden little gem, took us a minute to find it tucked away on main high street.
Very friendly staff, extremely welcoming.
There is this Brazilian / Jamaican theme going on and food seems to be inspired with this in mind too.
Any restaurant you go to where you can see them cooking your food from fresh only gives you confidence that you will get something worth the wait.
Extremely tasty food! Full of flavour, really really very good.
I’ve eaten and drank here a number of times over the past couple of years. Each time I’ve visited the staff have been excellent, the coffee is outstanding and the choice and quality of the food is exceptional. Much of the menu is made in house, even their breads, beans and ketchup !
There is consistent an excellent line of high quality beers on tap (you won’t find any carling or madri nonsense here!!) and a well stocked fridge with cans and bottles from many different breweries.
Would highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area!
The BEST lunch spot 👏🏼 super comfy and vibey with lovely staff. One of the tastiest salad bowls I’ve ever had - my partner’s soup and toastie was also delish. Highly recommend!
Deeee-lish!!!! The flavours are incredible and I always drop in for the hash browns whenever I’m in north Wales! Lovely staff, welcoming and relaxing atmosphere, great music, amazing space - I literally cannot fault this place!!! Superb. Best brunch spot in North Wales!!!
Lovely bar/cafe/coffee shop. Coffee was lovely and food was amazing. Very polite and friendly staff. Will visit again if in the area
Fresh quality cooked food with lovely dressings and marinades to add a delicious taste. A quirky, relaxed dining experience. Staff very welcoming and hospitable. A great in centre of Bangor. Coffees are delicious as well as their hot chocolates for the kids! Well worth a visit.
We took our children and dog as we were able to sit downstairs. Chicken pitta, Korean chicken burger and chicken flatbread were our choices and they were very good indeed! Thanks Blue Sky Cafe

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Beaumaris Castle, located in the picturesque town of Beaumaris in Anglesey, is a 13th-century architectural marvel built by King Edward I as part of his Iron Ring of fortresses to establish English rule in Wales. Despite being unfinished due to resource shortages, it remains remarkably well-preserved and is a popular tourist attraction. The castle's construction began in 1295 and continued for centuries with additions and involvement in historic battles like the English Civil War.
This is a must see for anyone who likes castles! One of the best examples of an abandoned castle that is near complete. It was actually never finished but is nearly intact with most of it still there. There is an entrance fee but it's well worth it. You can walk the outer walls and interior with an amazing chapel, still with stain glass windows!

Beautiful castle in a lovely little village, parking is right next door and cheap. There's a great chippy right close by in the village and some nice shops close too. There's a small gift shop for the castle and they show an educational film about the castle inside the grounds. Plenty of great photo opportunities and a great visit if you have a couple hours to kill.
Visited on Saturday, 06th September 2025, Beaumaris on the island of Anglesey is famous as the greatest castle never built. It was small but had many interesting features. No parking on site, and the nearest parking is on the river/straight front and costs £7 whether you stay for 5 mins or all day. Reasonable entry charge and straight away you're presented with a stunning aspect on the outside of the moat. You then enter the castle through a beautiful drawbridge. Once inside, there are options to walk the ramparts or, in a unique aspect from my experience, an inner walkway. Both walks provide unique perspectives to view the inner and outer castle walls as well as the fighting points available when the castle was operational. No great guidance once inside, but a nice little shop on exit.
It was an interesting place to visit. The castle that was never finished. It should have been the most amazing construction for Edward I but the financial situation did not allow it. The only part of the castle that has windows is the chapel and they are pretty amazing. They are dog friendly but they are only allowed on the ground floor of the castle. The ticket price is acceptable.
I really enjoyed my visit to Beaumaris Castle. Even though it was never fully completed, it’s still an impressive and beautifully designed fortress. The symmetry and scale are striking, and learning about its history—from Edward I’s ambitions to the challenges that halted its construction—made the experience even more interesting. The peaceful surroundings and views added to the charm. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Anglesey!
A lovely castle ruins. There's a video on loop giving you the story of the castle that was never finished. A really interesting back story about the castle. You're able to explore the castle walls and lovely views of the town and sea. We took my parents and my dad has a mobility scooter and the grounds were really accessible. And a lovely shop on site to get gifts, memorabilia or Welsh themed items. Highly recommend 👌
4/9/25: The castle is of considerable size and with lots of areas and internal passages to explore and with good views to be had across Biwmares and Eryri on the upper levels. Dogs are allowed in on short leads and must stay on the lower levels which send to be standard practice. There are lots of smaller side rooms dotted about and inside the perimeter walls with numerous stair cases that you can amble along which will give a sense of the internal architecture and the accommodation that was available at that time. There is a fair bit of grassed areas between the outer and inner sections of the castle along with occasional seating here and there, so, on a warm sunny day a pleasant picnic could be had.
Perhaps my favourite castle I've visited. There are plenty of areas where you can walk inside the castle to see how the rooms would have been and on one side you get to a chapel room with amazing acoustics. We were lucky there were reenactments going on which gave us insights into different aspects of castle life including Archery, music and horses. Plenty of parking nearby and a small gift shop.

Nestled along the serene banks of the Menai Strait, Plas Cadnant Hidden Gardens is a captivating historic estate that invites visitors to explore its three distinct and beautifully restored gardens. Once lost to time during much of the 20th century, this enchanting location was originally a private retreat for the Price family. Today, it boasts an array of features including mesmerizing waterfalls, walled gardens with unique curving walls and tranquil pools, as well as secret valleys adorned with lush greenery.
Lovely gardens to visit. Some areas good mobility is needed. Quite steep steps and slopes in places. Well worth a visit. We were there for 2 hours which was plenty of time to see whole site.

Absolutely the best gardens I have ever seen, it's like going into another world. The cafe is lovely and some lovely plants for sale too. I would highly recommend a visit here, we didn't want to leave.
Plas Cadnant is a beautiful place to visit. As soon as you walk in through the gates, you're hit with the impressive view down the lawn, with it's pyramid topiary taking your eye down to the pond and the woodland below. The upper gardens have beds of hot colours in the summer. The lower woodland garden has meandering paths that allow you to explore the many wonderful plants, trees and other interesting features. A river runs through the valley, forming beautiful pools and waterfalls. Tours of the garden are run frequently by the head gardener and you get to see areas not usually open to the public. The café's conservatory has nice views over the garden. Pleasant outdoor seating is also available. It serves light lunches and their cakes are also recommended. One word of warning though... the silver teapots can be extremely hot! Wrap a napkin around the handle to pick them up safely. You'll often see the friendly owner of the garden helping out in the café or welcoming people outside. He's great to chat to if you have any horticultural questions. Accommodation in a number of on-site cottages is also available. As someone that visits frequently, I definitely recommend a visit.
Absolutely lovely place. The manicured garden is beautiful, and the jungle are is amazing with some incredible old trees and interesting and restful wet areas. Loved it. There are 3 different routes which are re well signposted and suitable for different levels of fitness and physical ability.
We have been coming to Anglesey for many years now but for many reasons we have never been here before. But we were just utterly amazed by this place. The gardens were stunning and the work that went into these was just simply amazing. Cafe was nice we just had a cuppa. Will definitely be back.
Highly recommend for a peaceful moment out. The walk doesn't take long, but there are lots of benches around the garden to sit and enjoy the peace and beauty of nature. The variety of hydrangeas was stunning as were the plants and trees.
We visited here on Tuesday, such a beautiful garden, plenty of seating to sit and take in the peaceful setting…
Had a light lunch before we walked the gardens, great service, lovely food and plenty of seating with views over the garden or outside in the courtyard…
Highly recommend a visit
An absolute gem - peaceful, stunningly beautiful with well signed route through the woods and gardens. Excellent cafe to regain your strength as the red route is a little challenging in places. There is a slightly easier route as an alternative.

Lovely sunny Saturday evening and we chanced it and managed to get a table. The food was really good, the service was great. The staff were so responsive and wanted to help. I would recommend for food, although probably best to book to prevent disappointment.

I have severe allergies and the staff were very accommodating. They offered alternatives to items I couldn't eat, I'm very impressed and would highly recommend to anyone with allergies. They also offered the vegetarian kids dish in an adult size which was amazing. The restaurant was very busy but plenty of parking and tables. The atmosphere inside was really nice, even though it was busy we were able to have a proper conversation and hear each other.
Tables and facilities were very clean.
This is a great pub for food. Never a bad meal after 4 visits. The menu is varied and had some great choices.
Service is normally very good with staff being friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is okay, although noise levels can interfere
The Wednesday pub quiz at 9pm is recommended and well attended. Get there early though to bag a seat
Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and excellent food. Fish and chips were excellent, light crispy batter just how it should be, all three of us were served promptly and the food arrived really fast !
Polite happy friendly staff. Great selection of drink's, meal's, very clean and tidy, even darts if you have Time. Great Welsh pub
Called in without booking and they fit us in even though it was busy.
Staff were very friendly, orders taken and meals arrived in good time. We had a chefs special, sweet chilli chicken skewers, steaks strips with salad and halloumi salad. Food was absolutely delicious and generous portion sizes.
Shame we could fit a dessert in!
Would highly recommend 👌
Lovely meal after a long day managed to get a table we hadn't booked took a chance but advised to book if go again

Zoo
Foel Farm Park, located near Brynsiencyn on Anglesey, offers an immersive experience of a real working farm for families. Visitors can enjoy tractor and trailer tours, quad bike rides, pony rides, and the opportunity to feed and interact with various farm animals. The park also features a cafe bar with a garden terrace boasting stunning views of Snowdonia. Additionally, there are farm walks, giant jumping areas, pedal tractor rides, and even a chocolate workshop to explore.
Foel Farm Park is a charming escape for animal lovers. You can get hands-on with lambs, goats and rabbits, all of which seem well-cared for. The staff is friendly and informative, making the experience educational and fun.
Besides the animals, there's a play area, a cafe with tasty treats (even a chocolate shop which I had to visit of course) and scenic walks. It's a great spot for a family day out, offering something for everyone. The farms appeal is its simplicity and the connection it creates with nature and animals.
Overall, Foel Farm Park is a delightful and engaging experience that's perfect for a family outing. The combination of animal interaction, play areas and beautiful scenery makes it a memorable visit.

Absolutely wonderful day out for all. From bunnies to pet, lambs to see, piglets, wonderful staff (especially the guy from new Zealand), tractor ride, jumping pillow, a nice walk and lovely well kept outside space!
Enjoyed by all 3 adults and 2 kids (9&11).
You can take your own picnic (which we should've done) but food reasonable on site and cakes looked good too.
Dog friendly which was nice to include her.
I enjoyed the whole day and recommend to anyone with kids.
(PS nothing for ceoliacs food wise apart from cake or crisps)
Amazing place to visit with children. Just the right amount to do. The tractor ride ( included in the entry fee) allowance you to gwt up close to horses for a pet or a feed ( small fee for food as you go in).
Bouncy pillow an extra bonus.
The cafe was amazing, catered for our daughters allergies demonstrating extra care and knowledge, guiding us to make safe choices.
The bunny barn was highlight of my daughters visit.
Fabulous! Everyone from our 1-year-old daughter, the grandparents and Even our two dogs had a fantastic day. Thanks to the animals and to the great staff. The bunny barn, lamb bottle feeding, the tractor & trailer ride and quad bike ride are a fantastic editions to what is a lovely farm.
As far as farms go for a Saturday in May with nice weather this was pretty decent, I did however think that the lambs may have been allowed out for feeding rather than just fed through a fence, however the rest of our time at the farm was lovely, it wasn't too busy which was nice and it is a spacious farm, the tracker ride was lovely and one of the better tracker rides I have experienced taking my daughter on, the cafe was nice (we sat outside enjoying our morning coffee on the sunshine) staff very friendly, I think possibly between where the inflatable pillow is and the mini trackers to ride could be developed with potentially a children's outdoor play park with swings etc would enhance the time for the children. But overall a lovely visit and worth popping by if visiting nearby, we spent about 3 hours there.
Charming little farm. Family run, with a decent cafe and lots of opportunities to touch goats, rabbits, sheep and horses. Ideally suited to families with children under 10. Beautiful views from all over the farm. Older children would enjoy the maize maze when it is on (summer months).
A wonderful farm with lots of animals to interact with, including horses, sheep, goats, and rabbits. The tour guides and other staff were very kind and friendly, and we found many delicious treats in the chocolate shop. Would definitely recommend a visit.
Great fun family day out, had lots of interactive activities for all including petting areas with small animals and feeding lamps play area and tractor rides at no extra cost, plus a very nice cafe/restaurant with lovely food

Bangladeshi restaurant
Sopna Menai Tandoori is a popular Bangladeshi restaurant located in Menai Bridge, Anglesey. With 289 reviews and a menu that offers Indian and Asian cuisine, this restaurant stands out as one of the best places to enjoy an Indian meal. Customers rave about their delicious dishes such as lamb saag and chicken tikka balti. Although there are other Indian restaurants in the area, Sopna is highly recommended for its top-notch food quality.
We've been recommended this place from so many people, and it did not disappoint. The food was excellent from start to finish, with a good variety of food on the menu, much of which was new to me.
Considering we had a large group, eight, food was served promptly and hot and tasted excellent. It is on the expensive side, more than their website menu says, but it worth it.
Service was attentive and polite and not intrusive. The atmosphere was nice, but not 5 star nice like the food and service

A Dining Experience to Remember at Sopna Menai Bridge
Nestled in the heart of Menai Bridge, Sopna Tandoori is a true gem when it comes to exceptional Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine.

The cleanliness of the restaurant is immediately noticeable—tables are immaculate, cutlery gleams, and the overall ambiance is fresh and inviting. It’s clear that maintaining high standards is a top priority, adding to the overall pleasure of dining here.
Now, onto the star of the show—the food. Every dish bursts with authentic flavors, expertly crafted with fresh ingredients and the perfect balance of spices. Whether you opt for a classic chicken tikka masala, a fragrant biryani, or one of their sizzling tandoori specialties, you can expect nothing short of culinary excellence. The naan is fluffy, the rice is perfectly cooked, and the curries are rich and flavorful without being overly heavy.
With an outstanding combination of top-notch food, welcoming service, and a spotless dining environment, Sopna Menai Bridge is a must-visit for anyone craving an unforgettable meal. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, this restaurant guarantees a fantastic experience that will have you coming back for more!
Amazing food! I went with a large group for a birthday surprise and every dish we tried was delicious. The owner and staff were welcoming and friendly and the restaurant felt homey and comfortable. The food was really delicious. Really enjoyed the house wine that was recommended. Will definitely be going back.
We enjoyed a midweek meal here and everything was good. Spice level very nice. Rice dishes and side dishes were a tad colder than the curries which was odd. But we'd eat there again I'm sure.
Even on holiday I cannot resist a curry night so I found a nice little restaurant on Anglesea
Interior ⭐️⭐️⭐️
A bit basic but the majority of seats are in a conservatory extension which would be nice on a sunny day. There are a few elephants etc around which kind of make sense.
Service ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Again nothing bad here just not special, the food did take a while to arrive but I think that's because they were smashing delivery orders all night long.
Food ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
A good solid meal! We had a few different currys including a lamb rogan rosh and a tikka masala which were all very good. The winner for me was the saag paneer, which was really creamy and delish! However the rice is served in metal platters which doesn't look good and because its all spread out it was cold the moment it hit the table.
Price ⭐️
So a mean score here but its more a lesson than a criticism, the simple facts are that if we had taken the food home as a take out we would have paid a third less. I just cannot justify paying over £30 more for the "experience" of dine in....
Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love curry and I probably eat more than most so I have high expectations and unfortunately this just didn't quite meet them. That said, I would order take away from then if I was in the area as it was a good eat!
The best curry I have had in a long time!
We were warmly welcomed on entry and all member of staff were very friendly and helpful.
We had the poppadoms and chutbey trays to start, followed by a murghi masala for myself and a lamb korma for my partner. Both curries were fresh and full of flavour.
A real gem of a curry house which must be tried.
We've been going here for years. But last night my wife wanted to try another not too far away for her birthday. After an appalling service, or should I say lack of. We ended up going here. It was busy but Sid welcomed us with open arms. Went out of his way to lay a table and sat us down. The service was great as usual as we the food. And he even put a banner up for my wife. Couldn't thank you more Sid, you are a legend.
First time at the restaurant, and we had a very pleasant experience. Staff and food were lovely. Would recommend and visit again.

What a fall from grace! Was last here2 years ago and had a brilliant meal! Last night I took my young family there and have never had to complain and leave an establishment, before even been served our main before! Staff are friendly and trying, but are woefully under trained and under staffed! Food quality is very poor for the price point! Hopefully they can sort going forward as it’s a great building in a great spot!
What's more to say, good food, good location, friendly and helpful staff.
Hey eating outside can be an issue, seagull problem, but that's normal for these places.
In sum we had great food, dogs were welcomed and looked after and a nice little soujorn on our day out.
Absolutely fantastic stay, lovely room, beautiful food and lovely staff. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again. If you want a great stay in beautiful surroundings you be need to pay a visit.
Right on the main street in Beaumaris and a lot bigger on the inside than you would think from the outside. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Food was very delicious. An okay selection of alcoholic drinks and reasonable priced. Would definitely visit again.
It breaks my heart to say this since I have been coming to The Bull with the family for many years, but it was clear this year that the standards have gone completely downhill. The restaurant manager and food offerings are nowhere near as good as they used to be. One night we waited one hour for the food. My husband's meal seemed to be like a ready meal. On the day we left, there was instant coffee, intermittent bread and butter, no tongs to pick up the bread which everyone was handling. The beautiful pain au chocolat that used to be there are now clearly freezer heat and serve. The staff seem to be unhappy and not properly trained. I cannot blame the manager for kitchen staff not coming to work, but I can blame her for not listening to customers. She spent most of the evening talking the tables around us down, to prevent them from making a complaint, ignoring the other customers. There is a lot of goodwill for The Bull built up over years (this place was stellar), but this will be lost if things continue like this. The Inn Group need to stop cutting corners to reduce costs and look at the staffing and training situation urgently!!
Came for a few drinks with friends of an evening. Staff were very friendly and very helpful when recommending menu items and drinks. The Bull Inn is definitely worth a visit if you ever pass through Beaumaris. Whether you’re local or on holiday ❤️
Could be great - clearly short staffed on day we ate there (? Need more staff?) Made a booking but on arrival took them about 10mins to sort a table - just had us stood in a busy bar area with no communication as they tried to make a table. Service then was terrible - was bar ordering which took about 15mins until served due to only one staff taking orders and making drinks, not a nice relaxing experience at all. Food was nice, however cheese and onion pie ordered for two of our party and was meat pie when it arrived - terrible! Outside beer garden is lovely. Need more staff and better orgainisation.

Pub
Tafarn Y Porth - JD Wetherspoon is a spacious and comfortable pub that offers classic food and drinks, including all-day breakfast. Visitors often praise the congenial atmosphere and friendly staff. Customers appreciate the quick and polite service, affordable drinks, and well-prepared meals. The pub has a typical 'Wetherspoons' vibe with rugby on TV inside, but also offers a nice big garden for a more relaxed experience.
We called in for dinner. It was really good value. We had their 3 small plates deal (we selected the leaded chips, the halloumi fries, and the chicken bites. Everything was quite tasty and cane quickly. We also had a jacket potato with beans and cheese, which was really nice and very good value. The drinks are quite cheap as well.
It was a bit noisy, but that is what you expect from pubs like this
For dessert we had a warm mini cookie dough which was superb and so good value/price and a millionaire ice cream
This was a really nice meal, everything was very tasty, came very quick and very cheap
If you want a quick bite and good value for money in Caernarfon, this is definitely the place to go.
All the staff we interacted with, was nice as well
Rita J — Google review
Typical Wetherspoons. Food was ok, could have included a sauce for the steak, curry wasn't anything to write home about. Would have preferred the steak to be cooked slightly more. Staff were pleasant, can't fault them. 85% of people Welsh as a first language in the area. Diolch is thank you. Prices are what's most attractive about the place to be fair. Would come again but when meals are on offer. Stella tasted odd, kind of chemically? Lemonade tasted cheap. Ok for the price though of course.
Absolutely value the money. Served locally beers as well as from other parts of the country. They serve the beer at very low prices. Staff was friendly. Perfect location with less atmosphere. But, hey! Cheap, cheerful and pretty tasty. Who’s not to love it.
Right beside the castle walls. Very clean toilets and friendly staff. Explained the beers origin when asked. Good to sit on their terrace. Great beer selection and wine on offer. Centrally located.
Very nice atmosphere, Welsh locals are even friendly and welcoming.. Definitely I had good time there.
Typical Spoons, great food, good beers and wine. Staff friendly.
Ten outa ten staff here and service probably the best I've known in wetberspoons. Warm friendly pub not noisy. Very clean. Didn't eat but normally a good standard food. Will hope to return. Nice views of city walls. Rita
Large spoons but all in one space, making it noisy,great outside space, lovely in the sun ,not far from castle.

Day 4
Northwest side of town
For day 4, we recommend exploring the northwest side side of town. Start the day off with National Trust - Plas Newydd House and Gardens, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to GreenWood Family Park. All together, your day would be filled with about 7 hours of non-stop fun.

Plas Newydd House and Gardens, located near the Menai Bridge in Anglesey, is a historic waterfront mansion dating back to 1470. Rebuilt in 1793, it now belongs to the Marquess of Anglesey and offers tours of the house, an exhibition, and expansive gardens with woodland and parkland. The property overlooks the Menai Straits and features formal gardens with views of Snowdonia.
Great day out in beautiful dog friendly stately home grounds (terraces excluded). Lots of walking routes to follow. Abundance of flora to soak up in the gardens. House is also full of history and fantastic “tour guide” volunteers. Also worth noting that national trust members have free entry, and affiliates (Scotland) also, Highly recommended

We visited for free on a Heritage Weekend, along with hundreds of others, but the staff were welcoming and coped well. We had lunches in the Dairy Cafe -all good.
The gardens and setting are wonderful.
The house us very interesting. The highlight is the Rex Whistler mural, which we were able to appreciate because a volunteer guide showed us many of the details personal to the family and special effects.
A fantastic day out! Beautiful house and well kept grounds with a great disc golf course. The café was okay, but the real highlight was the stunning view across the Menai Strait to the mountains of Eryri and Rex Whistler's mural inside the home.
Amazing house and history of the family. The gardens are formal but it does create a nice fairly flat walk with the added bonus of potentially seeing red squirrels. The mural in the dining room is particularly impressive. A must visit for any history buff who is interested in the Napoleonic Wars.
Fantastic day out. Lovely staff, who are helpful with directions and info. Great Red Boat ice cream outside the house with plenty of seating too. Well kept interior & gardens with a variety of things to see. Accommodating to those with mobility issues too, which is nice to see. Would 100% recommend stopping here!
Had a fantastic experience here. Both Tracey and Keith were very, very knowledgeable. The views out are amazing. With the beautiful house set in a tranquil environment. Plenty to see and do.
The place was easy to find and parking the car was easy, the walk to the house is quite long, but they do have a shuttle buggy for those who have difficulty walking distances, the house whilst plain and grey outside it holds many treasures insides well worth a visit.
We went on a Monday thinking it wouldn't be busy, but it was very busy and popular.
I love a national trust, this was a good one though. Beautiful gardens, amazing scenery and a historic house so ticks all the boxes for a NT day. There were some kids play bits around, a nice ice-cream stall by the house. Unfortunately I didn't see a red squirrel 😔🐿️

Experience the thrill of high-speed rides on a RIB boat with RibRide, located just 4.5 miles from the B&B. They offer various boat trips, including the fastest Rib ride on the Menai Strait, tours to see puffins and seals at Puffin Island, and visits to landmarks like Menai Bridge, Caernarfon Castle, Llanddwyn Island, South Stack, and Gogarth.
We attended a trip to puffin island and everything was fab! The staff in the shop/office were so so lovely and friendly, as were the skippers. Who were not only knowledgeable and struck the right mix of education and adrenaline based fun but also were really attentive. The health and safety protocols were spot on, they checked everyone was happy and confident throughout and even gave me a jacket to ensure I stayed warm. Highly recommend.

My wife and I had an amazing trip out to Puffin Island today. Chris was such a nice guy and a superb skipper who kept us entertained with his boat skills. Really enjoyed hearing about the history of things along the way too. Fascinating stories from the past. The weather was good: some sun and then wind and rain which made for a thrilling run eastwards and then a rollercoaster ride back home with big waves. It’s a brilliant set up; chilled and worthwhile. I’ll be back with the children for sure. Cheers RibRide!
Absolutely fantastic. Chris our skipper was polite, knowledgeable and great fun. What a fabulous trip it was.
Will definitely go again and recommend for adults and children.
It was such fun, get it booked it’s a great price too at £25.
Chose to do the Puffin Island tour with Ribride, due to their location near Menai Bridge rather than from Beaumaris, as it was close and convenient.
Tour was a blast. Good commentary, great views from either side of the boat, amazing scenery, and we saw some late season Puffins and seals. Even if we hadn’t it would have still been a great trip. Lots of time to take photos.
Be aware the boat moved pretty fast so be careful with hats and glasses. They provide ponchos to keep warm.
We had a weekend away nearby and as one final activity before we left we booked on the Menai Straight adventure. We have left the boat ride wanting to do more rib rides and to see alot more of Anglesey.
The captain was Ollie who was absolutely brilliant. He was funny and witty but excellent at his roles of piloting us about and being a tour guide whilst keeping us all safe. We had a great tour up and down the Menai Straight seeing all the main sites and a little speed boat manoeuvres to finish up! Absolutely worth the price l!
The office staff were lovely and friendly when checking in and complementary use waterproofs are available if you wish (we used them, they were clean and excellent at keeping us dry and the wind out of our souls )
If you are looking for a different perspective on the south shore of Anglesey and the Menai Straight, go see the folks at RibRide!
We went on the rib ride 25.08.25. It was great. The safety brief was thorough. We were informed of what to expect along the way. We were lucky to have great weather which made it even better to see the sites of Anglesey from the water. All staff were friendly. Would definitely recommend
What a fantastic experience we had, excitement from the word go. A bit of everything today, flat water and the fuller swells. We got a little wet but expected it, absolutely brilliant afternoon going up to Caernarfon castle and back. Will be back next year, thank you to Jez our pilot and the rib ride team
An absolutely fantastic experience on the rib ride. We've been on the Swellies and Caernarfon Castle trips and loved them both. Proper waterproof jacket and trousers provided and felt very safe on the boat. Our Pilot was very friendly and had lots of interesting information about the trip and the boat, I liked the Yamaha V6 engine 😀 A must do trip, highly recommended 👍

GreenWood Family Park, located just outside Caernarfon, is a nature-inspired theme park nestled in woodland. It offers a range of activities for families, including tunnels, mazes, trails for kids, magic shows, and crafts. The park features old-fashioned rides and attractions spread across ancient woodland that tell the story of legendary giant Glyn. Visitors can enjoy forest adventures, live shows, and crafts while exploring the park's magical feel.
Well worth a visit. Great for the little ones. Lots to do and something a bit different. It would be nice if the disabled parking was monitored though, 3 cars out of about 35 had disabled badges, we had to end up in the main car park with our disabled daughter. Otherwise good value for money for a family.

Had a great day out here. Took our daughter who is 22 months and very adventurous. Obviously should couldn't go on the bigger rides but she enjoyed everything she was able to go on. There is an abundance of play parks, the barefoot trail is fun and quirky, enjoyed the river ride. I think if you go understanding you're toddler can't go on a rollercoaster you'll be fine. We went on a Sunday in the summer holidays and it wasn't super busy and there wasn't much wait for any ride.
Great place for the kids and soft play is the best in the area. Food is average. The kitchen needs some investment in the ventilation system. Always Smokey in the sitting area and we come away with everyone’s clothes smelling like cooking which puts us off going again which is a shame as everything else is great.
Great experience for younger children. The kids first roller coaster and dingy down a slide - they both loved these two rides. My 7 year old was more entertained than my 9 year old on some of the other climbing activities but the two speedy rides mentioned above made this a great day out.
Had a great day at greenwood. Went with a 2 and 3 year old and there was loads for them to do. They loved all the parks and the river ride was fun for everyone. The soft play area was great. The food was a little over priced for what it was but that expected for a place like that. All in all though definitely a great day out in north Wales for all the family.
Fantastic experience, easily spent a full day at the park. Every activity throughout the day was very enjoyable.
One thing to note: We had a child in a wheelchair, and the access statement on the website doesn't mention that there a number of steep hills with loose gravel, which was quite difficult to navigate.
We had a lovely day here. We went on a sunny Friday during the school holidays and the queues weren't too bad. We felt like the queue to the Green Dragon could have been sped up by having a group of people there ready to board while the next lot were bringing the train up, instead of standing there waiting for people to walk up the hill. The staff were really great and friendly. Our 4-year old really enjoyed himself and loved the magician with the big beard! The Solar Splash was the best ride.
I love the idea around this park - That no energy is wasted. Chatted to the staff around how the roller coaster is powered and it is very interesting. The entertainment is perfectly aimed for kids and is a good opportunity to relax and eat some lunch. Slightly disappointed with the bare foot walk - needs some TLC to bring it back to the original plan as too much transferance of material into different sections or some of it is completely missing. Didn't have a long queue for any ride, plenty of different play grounds for the kids and a nice little indoor cafe and soft play to relax at the end of the day.

The restaurant specializes in seafood, particularly fresh Welsh mussels prepared with cream and cider. With a boatyard theme that complements its waterside location, Dylan's menu features locally sourced seafood and seasonal produce from the surrounding fields and hills.
Loved this place. Very popular place. Open plan kitchen. Service and decor is nice. Lovely food. Great views overlooking the menai straights. They sell their own delicatessen like sauces and chutneys. Not a cheap place but worth every penny.

Really glad we came here for dinner. Gemma, our waitress was really nice and attentive. She looked after us really well. Rang up the day before hoping for a table of 8 with 2 dogs and they were really nice and were able to accommodate us at such short notice. The mussels are a must! I would highly recommend this place.
Food here was first class- everything was so fresh and we loved the local products used throughout the menu.
View was great and service was brilliant too. I will definitely be visiting the other restaurants soon!
Seafood chowder was delicious. Muscle was a must have item. Seafood in general was great. Meat was slightly above average.
Service was very good. The restaurant offered a surprise to my son. It’s his birthday night. So sweet!
We sat upstairs and the view is fantastic as was the food. We had the calamari, lamb on hashbrown to start followed by seafood linguine and king prawns. Couldn't fault the food. The only thing I can fault was that we weren't greeted as we entered the restaurant. We had to wait a while until someone spoke to us but apart from that our experience was fantastic. Visit you won't be disappointed.
Had a great meal here with my sister while visiting the area. My sister is allergic to shellfish and the staff were right on top of her menu choices - really great to see. I had the mussels (even though this is a “wrong” month for eating them) and they were divine - I haven’t had anything even close to them in terms of taste since Iived in Normandy. We were really pleased to be given a table in the patio area, which had great views of the water.
Best to book a table online as it’s always really busy. Worth the wait though because the food is delicious and the views are stunning. The outdoor patio area is definitely the best way to capture the panoramic views and smell the salty sea breeze.
Amazing food, beautifully presented but whilst the staff were nice enough, the service was slow and they clearly didn't have enough people on to deal with the amount of walk ins they accepted. Location is fab, terrace has a stunning view (but you will be fighting off sea gulls!) But the staff need a more experienced manager (or one on shift!) to organise them.

The Anglesey Arms is a Georgian hotel that offers rooms with seaside-inspired decor and complimentary Wi-Fi. It is located near the Bridge Inn and welcomes both diners and guests in need of dog-friendly accommodation. The pub has various seating options, including an extensive beer garden, outdoor seating area, and dog-friendly tables in the bar. Like many other pubs on this list, they provide water bowls and treats for dogs upon arrival.
My husband, friend, dog and I really enjoyed our couple of days at this hotel. The staff were friendly and efficient. A present for the dog was in our room. We had lovely toiletries, too. The bed was huge and comfortable. The room was lovely and warm. My friend's room was comfortable, too.
The meals were very good, and the menu was very extensive.
The rooms are all on the second floor and above. So anyone with mobility issues (the dog and I) may have difficulty with the stairs. We were aware of this before booking, though.

Booked in for our final meal of our holiday, exceeded our expectations! David our server was faultless, best service we’ve ever had and would not have had a better experience without him! Food was delicious and an amazing pub quiz to finish.. would highly recommend!
Only came for a meal, but the staff were exceptional, really lovely and made you feel very welcome.
The food was also really great! I would recommend this place to anyone.
Lovely pub with a great atmosphere and beautiful décor. The food was really nice and the outdoor space is brilliant, especially with the children’s play area which kept the kids happy.
Only downside was that the toilets weren’t very clean, which let it down slightly. Other than that, everything else was spot on, would happily rate 10/10 for food, service and atmosphere.
Great garden, great location, prices reasonable, good selection of food, nice out door seating. However... ran out of burgers at 7pm! Was going to put 4 stars however changed back to 5 as the burgers could have been THAT good that they sold out? Haha.
Don't go ANYWHERE else to stay as the staff are exceptional, location is perfect...and the room AND food 10/10. We can't wait to visit again soon. Finally, a special THANK YOU to Will the general manager who goes above and beyond 🙏 and has an outstanding staff team!!!
Food excellent here. Good parking. Will return. Dog friendly and takes bookings. Did not stay so can’t comment on the rooms. Found the staff helpful & friendly.
Poped in here last week for a quick drink on our way home after a day out. Atmosphere is great Drinks are very expensive and food is pricey. In a great location if visiting the island and easy to find. Just make sure you input you car registration into the screen by the bar now that some private company owns the car park which is mad!

Tesco Extra offers a good selection of produce, with deliveries being put out in the evening. The store is quiet and hassle-free, allowing for a relaxed shopping experience. Staff are helpful and courteous, and cardboard boxes are available for packing instead of plastic bags. The supermarket provides a convenient location for completing weekly grocery shopping quickly and easily. Customers appreciate the keen pricing structure and availability of various products. However, some find it challenging to navigate the store due to recent layout changes.
Large variety of products. Staff are excellent. Lady on customer services reopened the till that I can just do a return even though she said she was closed. Very polite

The absolute worst Tesco I have ever been to. The layout is specifically designed to cause mental breakdowns and therefore spend more.
1. Convoluted, messy, erratic carpark that is only a foreboding warning of things to come
2. You Have have to walk through half a mile of tat before you reach food
3. Noone works there so you can't find anyone to help
4. The aisles were filled with stock trolleys on EASTER SATURDAY at 3pm
5. The passata was with the oils and vinegar. THE OILS AND VINEGAR
6. The wine was right in the far corner. Should be at the entrance to deal with this absolute nightmare of a retail experience. In fact they should offer free shots on the door, just to cope
I was a customer at tesco extra in Bangor today and had no pund coin for a trolley and had a baby with me. A member of staff called Shannon, was super helpful and went out of her way to get me a trolley. Thank you.
Tesco Bangor Toilets – A Biohazardous Adventure
If you are looking for a post-apocalyptic toilet experience, Tesco Bangor has you covered. Walk in and be greeted by the delightful aroma of stale urine and despair. The walls proudly display dried-up pee like some sort of Jackson Pollock tribute, while the toilet roll holder is broken wide open, inviting every passer-by to give the roll a good ol' fingerblast. Hygienic? Not even close.
The toilet seat, oddly, is in the best shape – by that I mean it is still attached, though soaked in mystery fluids and missing its rubber feet like a three-legged table from a skip. The door lock is so flimsy that a soggy bit of tissue wedged in the gap would probably offer more security. I ended up with my finger stuck in it, gaining a lovely blood blister as a parting gift.
As for the main doors – sticky, slimy, and more unsettling to touch than a stranger’s damp handshake.
Tesco, for the love of bleach, sort it out. My OCD is still in therapy.
I find Tesco great for a wide variety of products. However, I do find the layout of the grocery section very confusing. You seem to have to spend quite a while going round the same few aisles looking for what you want. More signs would be good. I don't encounter this problem in Tesco Holyhead, just here. I think that because this is a Tesco Extra, they have squashed the grocery area into a smaller space to fit other departments in, and that's why this problem arises.
I have to say this is a shocking customer service at this Tesco's superstore in Bangor. I've been trying five times to get in touch with the Tesco Mobile customer service, somebody answered then put me back on the ring service, happened twice, I've also got recorded evidence of this ,and that is only one bad comment of Tesco's, the main issue of getting in touch with Tesco's, is because my sister went in there with my phone,!!!! that I gave her because her is broke ,basically she couldn't do the internet because of Tesco's SIM card, which I said this was the issue but yet she had to go into Tesco's to get this sorted out, but because Tesco's kept saying it was the phone it was phone, and then the person in the mobile service desk at Bangor Tesco's actually broke the phone,!!! then said it was the SIM card like my sister said in the first place, it was the SIM card but because he had it plugged into the computer he broke the phone,,!grr, it would not work then to managers come down from wherever, in Tescos Bangor, and basically said they couldn't do anything about it ,because there's person who works in the Tesco's mobile service in Bangor Tesco's broke my sister's phone, am fuming this was my phone ,and I gave it to her, because as she went in there was an issue with the SIM card, the customer service mobile desk broke my phone ,and I am not happy with this ,and want to take it further, and I need somebody to talk to me I can't get through to customer service, at all nobody picks up no phone, get this sorted out Tesco's in Bangor,
The click and collect pickers are everywhere constantly. Not enough tills manned and the toilets are always filthy
Good store to visit, very busy though had to wait in the checkout area on the whole ok

Pili Palas Nature World is a captivating destination, especially on gloomy days. It offers a tropical experience with lush butterfly and bird houses that make visitors feel like they've been transported to the rainforest. The facility boasts an array of animals, birds, and insects including Macaws, African Grey parrots, rare Argentinian Black and White lizards, butterflies, and moths.
As a small zoo I must say I was impressed by what they've done with their size. The tropical house is definitely smart and well kept. The bug room was also really good. It's nice to see invertebrates also really well kept. Nice large enclosures and appropriate lighting. Overall a very nice little gem of a zoo!

A great place to bring the kids. Not just a butterfly world, but also a creepy crawly, meerkat, farm yard, and don't forget the parrots! There's also an indoor play area, a picnic and outdoor play park. Great day out!
This review is in 2 parts as a place and then the gf food in the cafe.
As a place its Brilliant little walk around my little girl loved the butterfly's and the other animals, there is an adventure play park outside and then inside soft play. There is even a small soft play for under 2s. There is a petting area with a small walk around animal section. And a meerkat little play are loads to see and a nice 3hr wonder you can reqalk the area to no need to leave once you have circled.
The GF. Menu gf is not mention the best advice I can offer is bring your own picnic and eat out side in the shelter area. Might be awareness but nothing evident. So safer to bring a picnic and have a little wonder around
Wow what a change. I remember going about 20 years ago and the development and improvement since then is wonderful to see. Of course the animals and play areas etc are wonderful but what impressed me the most was the staff. Everyone was helpful and knowledgeable and brilliant with the kids... It won't be another 20 years before I go back..
Good entertainment for all. Great variety of interesting animals insects and reptiles. Love the farmyard walk through area.
The play areas (in particular the outside) are fantastic. My only criticism is they it could do with a touch of TLC to spruce it up a little.
Fab little zoo, easy to walk around and plenty of little animals to see, inc bugs, lizards, butterflies, farm animals, it has a small cafe and nature trail. It has a child's play area and is easy to get to, with adequate parking.
Lovely day out, loved all the creatures and the butterflies were wonderful, I could have stood and watched for ages. The play areas are fantastic and definitely a massive hit with my 6 and 4 Yr olds.
A day well spent. Has an indoor soft-play, outdoor playground, butterfly garden and a lot more to offer. Definitely worth a visit when around this area!

Freckled Angel is a trendy hotspot in Menai Bridge, offering elevated British small plates in an intimate atmosphere. The restaurant has been a popular choice for both locals and tourists, known for its bright and breezy dining room adorned with angelic motifs and large windows that allow plenty of natural light to filter in from the Straits.
Delicious small plates with innovative twists on traditional dishes at a reasonable price. The service was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere could have been a bit better. It was quite relaxed but we were seated upstairs where the big groups were and it was a bit loud at times. I would suggest to sit downstairs for quieter tables if you are not in a group.

Best food we have had for ages. Brilliant high quality imaginative dishes. Excellent value.
Me and the wife visited last night for our anniversary meal. Although the restaurant was busy not once did we feel anything was taking too long. Staff were amazing and very friendly.
I can honestly say it was one of the nicest meals out we've ever had. I had the surf and turf burger (highly recommend👌🏼) but also fancied trying a couple of the tapas dishes. Although it was too much food there was not a chance I was leaving any. Ox cheek, wow! Hats off to the chefs.
The wife fancied a mojito, after trying hers I had to order one for myself. We had a lovely evening and can't wait to visit again soon. Big thanks to all the team!!

The food is absolutely gorgeous for somebody that is really fussy with flavours. I’m very basic eater. This was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend.
July 22 visit (I updated one word on the review, it changed the date to Oct 2023)
I love a good small plates restaurant and these eats, were some of the best I've ever have.
Usually when doing reviews, I tend to give a four star place five stars, as people underscore (plus no 4.5 option exists). But I cannot rate this place highly enough. As someone that uses Google maps a lot, I hope people will give it a try.
We booked online easily enough, which is probably prudent during busier hours. They did have a large party upstairs apparently, so that's is an option for those interested.
The food itself was excellent quality, reasonably priced for small plates, with pleasant staff and decor.
One couple did come with a toddler, when we went early evening (at opening). So it's fine for kids I would say if necessary. Not sure if they have a kids menu.
As a side note, some of the meal names did tickle us. Retired dairy cow being the one that sticks to mind.
This is a spectacular experience/meal. We ordered a little bit of everything and left fully satisfied after sharing them among the 7 of us. Best mojito I’ve ever had. Each plate was thoughtful and deliciously composed. You’ve got to make a reservation as a heads up.
Dined at a few great restaurants in Menai Bridge the past few days, and we are glad that we ended our last dinner at Freckled Angel.
The food was served in Tapas style, with very creative selections. The flavours were very well balanced with various textures, which excited and delighted the taste buds. All of the dishes that we had were delicious, especially the cod and the pork belly.
The Yuzu meringue was amazing, and the chocolate parfait was to die for.
The staff were friendly and efficient.
If you have to choose only one place to dine while in Menai Bridge, book Freckled Angel!
Lovely, friendly staff is the highlight of Freckled Angel. The pig cheek starter was good. The katsu chicken burger also good. The menu is trying to be different but not quite hitting the mark.
£7.20 for a pint seemed quite steep for Menai Bridge. The offer just wasn't coherent. Thank you for the welcome, but I'm not sure we'd be back, sorry.

Bryn Celli Ddu Burial Chamber, located on Anglesey in North Wales, is a well-known Neolithic chambered tomb with a partially restored entrance passage and mound. The site is particularly intriguing as it features a mysterious pillar within the burial chamber and a patterned stone adorned with intricate serpentine patterns. On the longest day of the year, sunlight illuminates the passageway of this ancient burial ground.
FREE PARKING !! FREE ENTRANCE Approximately 700 to 700 meters from the carpark from the roadside you join a gravel track lined both sides with hedges that are well maintained as you come off the last few meters you find Bryn Celli Ddu in front of you. There is definitely something mystical about this burial chamber access is a little squeeze for us bigger men but there's about 2 to 3 meters square inside. It's well worth a visit we spent 30 to 45 minutes there and it took us 10 to 12 minutes to walk the gravel track and the same back. There are no toilets at the site or at the car park also no cafe.
Michael C — Google review
It's beautiful for what it is, but it's a hill with the entrance to a tomb underneath. The actual tombs have been resealed so you can't access them but offerings have been left in the entrance area. There is a path from the parking area to walk along but otherwise nothing extra. It is worth a quick visit to see more history but don't expect miracles.
Excellent Burial Chamber as featured in the book Weird Walks. A small free car park is just over from a maze-like footpath that leads to the chamber. Not huge, but you can get inside. A nice short weird walk with another one about 3 miles away....
Great place to walk to, not far about 10min walk from the carpark. Great to see with the naked eye. Going inside was a exciting experience. You can see people have left their gifts to the burial site. Interesting place.

Bryn Celli Ddu is a prehistoric site on the Welsh island of Anglesey located near Llanddaniel Fab. Its name means 'the mound in the dark grove'. It was archaeologically excavated between 1928 and 1929. Visitors can get inside the mound through a stone passage to the burial chamber, and it is the centrepiece of a major Neolithic Scheduled Monument in the care of Cadw. The presence of a mysterious pillar within the burial chamber, the reproduction of the 'Pattern Stone', carved with sinuous serpentine designs, and the fact that the site was once a henge with a stone circle, and may have been used to plot the date of the summer solstice have all attracted much interest.
There’s a small car park at the beginning of the path to the burial chamber on the other side of the road. There is a dedicated path all the way up to the site and then a grassed area around the burial chamber. Possible access for the disabled. Suitable for all the family. I recommend a visit to this place.
This a free visit. The post code takes you just past it. So on approach slow down and there is a small car park on the opposite side of the road. The chamber is well hidden and you have to walk around 10 minutes. Beautiful walk. Not wheelchair friendly
If you have a yearning to know and see more evidence of neolithic life, this place is worth a visit. It is refreshing that on such a monument the public are allowed, in fact encouraged to go into and explore the burial chamber. It's not a big monuments, it is however significant. There is a small car park nearby and a gravelled path to lead you there, after following the road for a few yards up from the car park entrance.
Bryn Celli Ddu burial chamber is well worth a visit. It’s not the most impressive monument at first sight but there is a definite feeling of stepping into history when you enter the chamber and touch the walls that were constructed 6000 years ago.

If you're in Menai Bridge, you absolutely must stop by Bridge Kebabs. This gem is renowned for its mouthwatering kebabs, featuring fresh chicken and lamb that are cooked to perfection. Diners rave about the quality of the ingredients, with many noting that even the donner meat tastes freshly prepared rather than frozen. The friendly staff adds to the welcoming atmosphere, ensuring every visit feels special. Plus, their pizzas are a hit too—boasting a variety of toppings on perfectly baked crusts!
I’ve been to Bridge Kebabs in Menai Bridge several times, and it never disappoints! The pizzas here are simply outstanding - fresh ingredients, perfectly baked crust, and a great variety of toppings to choose from. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making every visit a pleasant experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious food and excellent service!
Arda D — Google review
Had the special kebab and was very nice. Proper fresh pieces of chicken and lamb with what appeared to be fresh donner too - not the frozen stuff. Ready and hot bang on time. Could’ve done with a bit more garlic sauce though as it was very nice!
Kebabs are a disappointment, standards are a lot lower than 5 months ago.
Recommend that if you've ordered ahead you check the food before leaving as they've just messed up the sauces ordered, it's also a good idea to carry cash as they are often cash only.
£10 for a kids size meal. No salad . Rang was told to bring it back .
Oh my, their kebabs are to die for. Friends from across the island come here just for a chicken kebab. The prices are very reasonable, but the food tastes WELL above the price mark.
Great place for tasty reliable food. Great , speedy service. Can't rate highly enough .
Give the taste buds a treat and pay them a visit.
A lot to choose from!!! Stopped by to pick up early dinner at the place. The food is a hit and a miss. We ordered a pizza and chicken kebabs to go. The kebabs were extra charred, but tasted okay - had to use insane amounts of sauce to get it down. Pizza was a dissapontmet. The cheese on the pizza tasted like melted plastic with a bland texture. I think youll be okay if you stay with kebabs and order at a less busy time. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall, the place wasn't bad for a quick bite.
Good “British” kebab. Good sauces 👍

Theodore's is a new restaurant that has been making waves with its spectacular Sunday lunch. The atmosphere is so good that it quiets the tables as people savor their meals. The staff are also fantastic, going above and beyond to ensure everyone has a great experience. While there may be some room for improvement, the potential for greatness is evident. The food is described as amazing, with impeccable service and a welcoming atmosphere.
Despite the restaurant being here for some time, and my desperation to try, we only made it for the 1st time last night.
To use the phrase "good things come to those who wait" doesn't seem enough!
Seated immediately on arrival by the fabulous hostess Emma, we perused the copious menu (like I hadn't already been online and given it some thought!) we ordered our drinks and were aloud ample time to decide whilst the other patrons were being attended to. I must have changed my mind about 5 times regarding a starter cos it all read so delicious but plumped for the crab ravioli, mostly as it's rare to see and I've only found 2 other restaurants in the last 6 months that serve it so in the interests of equal opportunities had to give it a go! My husband, the creature of habit that he is, went for the chicken wings and we shared a garlic & mozzarella flatbread (note to self, get one each next time. Too good to share), for mains we both went for the rump steak as they were 2 for 1 on a Wednesday.
The ambience was fantastic while we waited, great music and the delighted murmurs from those tucking into food already certainly added to our anticipation.
Then it arrived.....THE BEST CRAB RAVIOLI I HAVE EVER EATEN EVER. Fact. At one point I felt like I was cheating on my husband.
Had I not been raised better I'd have liked the damn bowl clean! I have it on good authority that the wings were equally as fabulous and picked clean in no time 🤣
Thankfully we were given some time to get over the starters before the main event..... everyone knows I love me a steak. Rarer the better. So a good vet could bring it back to life if you will. And that's what I got. With a generous side of peppercorn sauce for me, blue cheese for him (other sauces available were lobster sauce, Diane sauce and Mushroom Sauce) and a side of beautifully crispy garlic parmesan fries that I requested over standard fries - I'm extra like that.
I don't think we spoke while eating other than to make comment on how (insert expletive her) good it was and why had we left it so long to visit.
In hindsight that flatbread, had we not inhaled it with the starters, would have been perfect for mopping up excess sauce but you live and learn!
Despite having had my eye on the cheeseboard as a 3rd course, the meat sweats done got me and we were done. But even though we were stuffed to the gills it was a great feeling as everything was just fabulous.
We are 100% going back for the Sunday lunch, and I will take down that cheeseboard Rich, you can hold me to that!
N.B. The pork belly......that deserves a review all of its own *chef kiss emoji*

We booked a table for 6 but turned up with 8, and they didn't hesitate to put some additional tables together.
We did get recommended beef, so 6 of us went with the beef... Every single one of us stated it was the best roast we have ever had !! We did go over extras (pigs in blankets)..
5 Star ... Will be going again soon !
P.s. Great selection of beers and spirits.
We had date night here. Our food was amazing 👏 , and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Starters, we had cheese garlic bread and prawns with chorizo. Our main fish of the day, which haddock with potatoes and beef with rice.
Impeccable service, great atmosphere, chilled music not too loud 👍.
I highly recommend Theodores
I had the best time here, the staff were wonderful and the food was stunning. Really friendly and relaxing, absolutely loved it, will be back!
Frankly, I was disappointed. Paying £18 for a lacklustre burger that had a precooked and reheated patty left an uncomfortable lump in my stomach. The slow service and odd atmosphere didn't help either, but I would have been fine with that had the food been good or reasonably priced.
Went for Sunday Lunch and it was spectacular, we cleared our plates and you know when a restaurant is good when the tables fall silent as people are served their food and people are too busy eating to talk. Staff were all fantastic too, rallying around a little one on a neighbouring table making sure they were okay after a small mishap. We’ll be back in no time as the Sunday lunch is one of the best we’ve had on the Island. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu.
I am conflicted with this review. But as this is a new opened place, I ll give it the benefit of the doubt. They was a lot of waiting between servings, and we had some issues with the food when it was first served, this was rectified, and it was a very enjoyable Sunday lunch slash birthday lunch. Lot of room for improvement but showing great potential to be 5☆ one day. Parking is next door and the restaurant has a good feel.
We tried Theodore's for the first time Bank Holiday Sunday. As it was Sunday they had the roast on the menu and my husband and I both chose the beef option. This came with Yorkshire pudding, mash, roasties, the most delicious veg we've ever tasted. It was simply delicious and we will absolutely return the next time we are on the island.

It's more than a garden center. It's a perfect shopping experience for indoor decor and garden alike. Restaurant is a try above the normal.
Pricey but worth it and above all ckean, tidy and meticulously presented.
Gorgeous place lovely restaurant/cafe I asked for extra everything and the head chef himself came and delivered the food to me
He beat me I couldn’t eat it all and I promised I would
Don’t think you will find another place to get all this food and 2 drinks for under £30 on a Sunday.. excellent service and food was fantastic my only issue the Yorkshire pudding was slightly too well done
My only point! everything else was awesome I will be coming back
Today we popped into the garden centre it was my husbands birthday. We visited the café for breakfast and refreshments and wow, amazing!. The staff really seemed to enjoy being there, which in itself is refreshing. They were all smiling, happy, helpful and polite. The breakfast arrived at the table and was well cooked and delicious. It was so good we couldn't help but leave a tip.. If I had more than £5 in cash we would have left more! This is the second time we have visited the centre and the staff have been second to none. Last time it was a very helpful plant expert that gave brilliant advice on what to plant at home!! He was great and the plants have settled in well. Thank you Holland Arms Garden Centre we shall be back very soon!!
I love this garden centre. They always have such a good choice of plants and pots. Lovely bits and bobs for your house too. Plants and pots are affordable, house bits more pricey. They have gorgeous display usually over Christmas and Santas Grotto. New restaurant in the back with good food but bit long wait.
Lovely garden centre. We took our mum for lunch and to buy her some plants. Only downside was the 20 mins queue to order food as there didn't seem to be enough staff. The food was worth the wait though. Will go again. Also you can take your dog around the shop if you happen to have one with you on a random visit but dont want to leave them in the car.
Today the 26th August 2025, I had the misfortune to attempt to buy something to eat and drink at the cafe in here.
I walked out after nearly 15 mins of standing in the queue for the following reason.
There was a queue out of the door, and the lady in the light grey top on the till taking orders... decided to walk away from her job and spend 10 mins chatting with friends. She even walked up the queue to the back to chat to some of them. So she could see how long it was. She wandered around like lady snooty of snooty manor not giving a damn about the people waiting to be served.
Meanwhile the lady who was making all of the tea and coffee (a slow enough job to do when people are asking for lattes and cappuccinos) had to cover both positions and you could see how annoyed and frustrated she was getting with the laziness of her so called colleague.
In more than 10 mins, she managed to actually serve 2 people, whilst the other was swanning around like she owned the place.
Walked out in disgust, I'm fairly local and used to go there quite often. Groups of us would go at least twice a month, we'll be going elsewhere from now on.
I also, wasn't the only one to walk out in disgust.
I am a regular here usually for the cafe which is fairly priced and the staff are great . Always good food . Even the outside part where dogs are welcome is accommodating enough.
Sometimes come with an additional needs adult and the staff can't do enough for us .
