This site features a Gorsedd Stone Circle, a modern creation built for The National Eisteddfod of 1907 - 1908.
Plas Newydd is a country house set in gardens, parkland and surrounding woodland on the north bank of the Menai Strait, in Llanddaniel Fab, near Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Anglesey, Wales. The current building has its origins in 1470, and evolved over the centuries to become one of Anglesey's principal residences. Owned successively by Griffiths, Baylys and Pagets, it became the country seat of the Marquesses of Anglesey, and the core of a large agricultural estate. The house and grounds, with views over the strait and Snowdonia, are open to the public, having been owned by the National Trust since 1976.
From its earliest known resident in 1470, Plas Newydd passed by inheritance and marriage through 500 years of a family's increasing concentration of wealth, titles and estates, until the 7th Marquess of Anglesey presented it to the National Trust, so that the house and grounds could be opened to the public.

Continuing up the staircase at Plas Newydd, looking at all the wood carvings in the panelling.
The Ladies of Llangollen collected wood carvings between 1780 and 1831, to give the appearance of an unique decorative effect.

Another view by the terraced gardens looking over The Menai Strait, we sat in the gardens here at the back to eat our picnic lunch, a very peaceful, sunny afternoon, and great spot to sit and admire the views

The mural in
The " Whistler " Dining Room at Plas Newydd.
This wall of this long dining room was brought to life with the
large painted scene, which is 17.5 metres long.
The 6th Marquess created this long formal dining room in the 1930's.
Rex Whistler always intended to return to Plas Newydd after the Second World War to complete some of the unfinished details of the mural.
Tragically, he was killed
on the very first day of
active duty in France, 18th July 1944.
Rex Whistler spent much time with the family in the 1930's becoming a great friend of the 7th Marquess when he was a boy.
One from a flying visit to Nant Mill Wood. River Clywedog was pretty low, so the waterfall certainly wasn't living up to its "power" epitaph on this day. It still made for a nice scene and was worthy of a post!

HMS Conway magically appears in the Menai Strait in September 2024 !!!
The ship was moored in the Menai Strait near Plas Newydd in 1949.
This is cleverly done by looking through the glass signpost at a certain angle, and the ship is seen in the water.
Looking inside Lady Anglesey's Bedroom at Plas Newydd.
In the 1930's the 6th Marquess led the way to bringing in new levels of comfort to the traditionally spartan British Country houses.
He installed central heating, modern plumbing, ] including numerous en suite bathrooms ] and fitted carpets.

Looking towards Plas Brondanw where Sir Clough Williams Ellis use to live while he built Portmeirion Italian village.
This ancient woodland stretching along the Clywedog Valley is one of the Trust’s most popular Welsh sites. It’s home to some wonderful wildlife and its diversity of plant species make it a botanist’s paradise. What’s more, it’s packed with historical interest and contains one of the most impressive sections of Offa's Dyke.
