Anglesey, an island of 715 square kilometers located off the north-west coast of Wales, boasts a captivating history. Separated from the mainland by the narrow Menai Strait, the island's intricate geological foundations include some of the oldest rocks in Wales.

Today, the island is connected to the mainland by two iconic nineteenth-century bridges: Thomas Telford's Menai Suspension Bridge and the Britannia Bridge, originally constructed by Robert Stephenson.
