The neighbourhood
Situated between the towns of Beaumaris and Menai Bridge in an
Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Menai View is in a perfect position to enjoy the beaches of
Anglesey and the stunning mountain landscapes of Snowdonia. It is also within walking distance of a village shop and the Gazelle Pub which is located on the waterfront and renowned for its quality food. There are supermarkets and a range of restaurants in both Menai Bridge and Beaumaris a few miles away.
Menai Bridge is also a hotspot for artists, ecologists and foodies, while a selection of thrilling attractions are available including RibRide adventures, boat tours to see puffins and seals and sailing in the Menai Strait. If it's fine dining you’re seeking, the Michelin Star restaurant, Sosban and The Old Butchers is well worth a visit. (Advanced booking is required).
The coastal path can be accessed from close by so that you can enjoy long walks filled with fresh sea air, while cyclists will find two of the UK’s nine cycle routes within easy reach. If you like boating you can enjoy everything from thrilling RIB boat rides to wildlife-spotting trips around Puffin Island to sailing in the Menai Strait.
Beaumaris is a charming town where you can stroll along the Victorian Pier, devour a picnic on the beach or enjoy a Welsh Cake at one of the tea shops. History lovers should also visit Beaumaris Castle which dates back to the 13th century and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Meanwhile, Beaumaris Gaol is a wonderful museum and has a fine example of a treadmill that was once used by prisoners for pumping water to the top floor cells.
Anglesey and the Snowdonia National Park offer so much more. Adventurers should visit Zip World for trips along high zip wires or thrills on underground trampolines in the slate caverns, or ride the waves at the artificial lagoon at Surf Snowdonia. Gentler pursuits include days out on the Snowdonia Mountain Railway or at the beautiful wild beach of Newborough Warren.
Getting around
We recommend travelling by car so that you can easily explore the local area. The area is also served by the London to Holyhead railway line, with the nearest station at Bangor. If you opt for days out in the car, the A55 coast road makes exploring the stunning North Wales scenery a real highlight.
