Menai Suspension Bridge & James Pringle Weavers Anglesey


The Menai Suspension Bridge built by Thomas Telford and completed in 1826 spans the Menai Strait between Anglesey and main land Wales. It was commissioned to cope with the increasing traffic from London to Ireland.



James Pringle Weavers near the bridge - is a collection of shops, a railway station, Sidings Restaurant and Tourist Information Centre all under one roof. Shopping includes clothes, shoes, outdoor gear, Welsh food & gifts, Portmeirion pottery, golf equipment, Hornby trains & Scalextrix sets, homewares and much more.

The centre is located in the little Welsh town with a big name

Llanvirepoollguingillgogeruqueerndroboollllandusiliogogogoch

which means
Saint Mary's church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the church of Saint Tysilio near the red cave.
