So, get out there and get to know this stunning part of North Wales. Here are a few places you might like to visit:
Anglesey Farmers Market
Held on the third Saturday of each month at David Hughes School in Menai Bridge, the market is a great place to stock up on everything from locally grown vegetables and freshly baked breads to organic mushrooms and freshly caught crabs.
Those looking for something a bit special for their Sunday roast will find free-range chicken, duck, guinea fowl, Welsh black beef, pork and lamb on offer. With so many award-winning producers in attendance, it’s the perfect way to experience the finest foods from this part of the world.

Tacla Taid
If you’re a true petrolhead then Tacla Taid is the place for you. Anglesey’s Transport and Agriculture Museum, is the largest of its kind in Wales and is home to a large display of cars, motorbikes, commercial and farm vehicles, and static engines.
Having got all revved up at the exhibits and in need of refreshment, head to the on site café, which sells an array of tasty local produce. While younger visitors will want to stop by the play area, with its outside seating for the grown ups and panoramic views of Snowdonia.

Beaumaris Castle
Started in 1295 yet left unfinished, Beaumaris is the last and largest of the castles King Edward I had built in Wales. Widely considered to be the most technically perfect castle in Britain, it was designed by Edward’s mason-architect, Master James of St George. Now a World Heritage Site, the castle’s formidable defences with their ingenuous ‘walls within walls’ design still stand proud over 700 years later.

Plas Newydd
With views across the Menai Strait towards the majestic mountains of Snowdonia, this elegant 18th century house is home to a military museum, filled with relics from the First Marquess of Anglesey, who led the cavalry at the Battle of Waterloo.
Outside, take a relaxing stroll around the spring garden and Australasian arboretum which are abundant with shrubs and wild flowers, plus a mass of hydrangea that give the grounds a blaze of colour in autumn.
