Plas Newydd

The first position on the list of the most beautiful historical sites in Anglesey is Plas Newydd which is a country home surrounded by gardens, parkland, and surrounding woodland on the north side of the Menai Strait. The current structure dates back to 1470 and has changed through the years to become one of Anglesey's most prominent houses. It was afterward owned by the Griffiths, Baylys, and Paget families, and it served as the Marquesses of Anglesey's country residence and the hub of a sizable agricultural estate. The National Trust has owned the home and gardens, which have views of the strait and Snowdonia, since 1976, and they are accessible to the general public.

By the time Henry Cyril Paget passed away in 1905, the estate's wealth vanished, and Plas Newydd had taken over as the family estate's only residence. The 6th Marquess demolished the theater, dismantled the ceiling crenellations, and constructed a huge dining room with a trompe l'oeil seascape painting that filled the space with Snowdonian mountains and Italian churches.

Visitors at Plas Newydd can stroll through the gardens while taking in the breathtaking views of the Menai Strait and Snowdonia for a modest fee. Rhododendrons are in full bloom in the gardens, and the woodland is a lovely place to stroll. Before having tea and cake in the Old Dairy's tearooms, you can also enjoy a tour of the historic house.
