Discover Plas Newydd: A Timeless Gem on Anglesey

Situated on the picturesque banks of the Menai Strait, Plas Newydd House and Garden is a destination that blends natural beauty, historical intrigue, and a touch of artistic flair. This Grade I listed property on the Isle of Anglesey offers visitors an enchanting escape into the past, with breath-taking views of Snowdonia (Eryri) completing the scene.

Start your visit with a leisurely stroll through the estate’s 40 acres of gardens. Whether you’re exploring the towering trees, admiring the vibrant flower borders, or enjoying the serene formal terraces, the grounds promise a tranquil experience. The gardens are meticulously maintained, yet they retain a natural charm that invites visitors to linger, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere.

The house itself, dating back to the 16th century, is a treasure trove of history and design. While its origins are firmly rooted in the past, the 1930s interiors steal the spotlight. Each room feels both grand and inviting, showcasing art deco details alongside a lived-in warmth. One of the standout features is the awe-inspiring mural by Rex Whistler. Spanning 58 feet in length, this masterpiece combines whimsy and surrealism, making it a highlight of the visit.

After taking in the sights, the Old Dairy café is the perfect place to unwind. With its selection of freshly baked treats and hearty cups of tea, it provides a cosy spot to recharge. Don’t forget to browse the shop and visitor centre, where you can pick up local gifts or mementos of your visit.
