The Menai Strait, the narrow strip of water which divides Anglesey
(Môn) from mainland Wales, is only twenty kilometres long, yet it
boasts beautiful scenery. Many events of interest have happened
here, and there have been some colourful characters. It is much
more than a stretch of salty water: it is a timeline containing
thousands of years of history.
Prehistoric stones, Celtic hillforts and legends, Roman remains,
Viking and Norman attacks, medieval castles and a wealth of
maritime and industrial heritage are waiting to be discovered here.
The strait is also crossed by two of the most remarkable and
historic bridges found anywhere on the planet.
