Having crossed onto the island, stretch your legs and get a closer look at the colossal Menai Bridge ...

According to the jovial landlord, the Duke wou...

Recently relocated to its new scenic location near Holyhead Marina, ever-busy Pete’s Burger Bar rustles up bun-encased grub of the spill-out-into-your-lap ...
No half-decent trip to Wales is complete without a visit to a castle, and Unesco-listed Beaumaris Castle(Castell Biwmares) is a beauty, even if it never quite lived up to expectations. The castle was planned to be the last and the greatest royal stronghold built by Edward I, with four layers of defence and sixteen stone towers aligned in near-perfe...
