Beaumaris

 

Wednesday 26th March 2025


After leaving Plas Newydd, I drove along the Straits to Beaumaris where I can park overnight next to the castle.

I had a walk around the village, along the pier and beach then back to the van for tea.

Very peaceful overnight, just me and two other motorhomes

Plas Newydd Anglesey

Wednesday 26th March 2025


Plas Newydd is a National Trust site just over the Britannia Bridge on Anglesey.

It stands on the Menei Straights with fantastic views across the water to the mainland.

I didn't go into the house this time but I've been in before and it's quite an interesting house.

Instead Louis and I walked around the grounds and enjoyed the views across the Menei Straights.

There are red squirrels in the grounds but we didn't see any. But there is still lots of other wildlife.


 This is the gothic stable block built by Henry Willian Paget who was a keen horseman and led the charge at the Battle of Waterloo. For his efforts he was made the Marquess of Anglesey 







































 I love all the lichen, moss and other plants growing on the bark of this tree
