Menai Suspension Bridge

Driven over the bridge a few times and wanted to take a closer look one day.
Very pleased I did, it's hugely impressive and well worth the time to stroll underneath and the nearby area.
Recommended.

Beautiful iron suspension bridge with fantastic views of the Menai Strait.

Brilliant place to stop at either high or low tide. You can park down the road at the car park next to the Chinese restaurant. Walk down takes 5 minutes, lots of sea birds, sea fishing and can walk the coastal path to and from the car park through the woodland.

Absolutely stunningly beautiful place

A majestic construction and one of the best bridges I have ever seen in the UK.
The surrounding area is beautiful as well and worth a walk while enjoying the view of the bridge.

Amazing Suspension bridge! I recommend walking down and taking a look from there

From somebody who loves bridges this superb piece of engineering has it all, beautiful stone arches and supports cantilevered suspension steel chain all riveted by men using hand tools shows a perfect example
The views up and down are wonderful, out over the straights is just as spectacular we were lucky to have a clear day just as the sun was setting, nice walk over in each direction. There is a nice pub on each side both serve good food and drink so a couple of hours soon pass

An impressive and beautiful bridge. We drove on it few times during our trip and the view is stunning. But I suggest to have a walk by the water to admire it from outside. It’s a really nice spot for some pictures.

A truly remarkable feat of Georgian engineering, well worth a visit & walking across (it's easy to park in Menai and cross from Anglesey to the mainland - there are some nice cafes in the town!)

There is a good chance you will cross Menai Bridge by car if you’re going to Anglesey. But I really recommend to stop at a nearby car park and make a small walk around. It’s a stunning bridge with the nature around.

The Menai Suspension Bridge is simply stunning. It spans the Menai straits from the main land over to Anglesey. Its not without its problems though, currently it is under going some re strengthening work due to a lack of maintenance over the years, so extra supports have been put in place. It's going to be one lane only with traffic control inplace untill 2025, then hopefully she will be back to her full glory. If your planning a holiday to Anglesey or the near by area don't let this put you off, she still looks magnificent and is well worth a visit. You can see the bridge from a different view when you go on one of the local walks that takes you underneath the structure, this gives you a sense of her size from a different angle and an appreciation as to how she was constructed all those year back by Thomas Telford.

Spectacular views from both sides of the bridge.

You can walk or drive across in both directions.

There is paid parking next to The Antelope pub, but it’s expensive.

A great piece of engineering, which can be enjoyed on it or below it.

The Menai Suspension Bridge in Bangor is a remarkable engineering feat and a must-visit attraction. Designed by Thomas Telford and opened in 1826, this bridge is a stunning blend of stone towers and iron chains. Its elegant design and attention to detail will leave you mesmerized.
It is a Good Place to spend your evening with your family, especially on the long Summer days .

Travelled over the Menai bridge in August 2023, wow it blew me & my wife Linda away. Fantastic sight.

A stunning example of Telford Bridge Architecture. Really photogenic if it's possible for a bridge. Lovely grassy area under Anglesey side to take photos with good information board. Great pub up the road.

Lovely place to go for an evening walk. The view from the bridge is breathtaking. When I visited there was a bit of fog while the sun was setting. Really dramatic. The view turned out to be better than I expected. Must visit if you are nearby.

The Menai suspension bridge brings you between North Wales and the peninsula of Anglesey. You can walk around this historic site on healthy trail. Just park your car at the nearby Waitrose. The trail even leads you to the new bridge within eyesight.

Great walk around a very scenic bridge and location. Worth walking along the coastal path from the bridge to the church.

Epic Location, especially on a spring tide. Makes you marvel at the efforts and technology of the time!

Wanted to visit for some time, not disappointed despite awful windy weather.
A beautiful bridge with fantastic views.
We drove over and parked next to pub on mainland side. We'll worth a visit folks.
