Description
Set on the shores of the Menai Strait
amidst breathtakingly beautiful scenery, this elegant house was
redesigned by James Wyatt in the 18th century. The 1930s restyled
interior is famous for its Rex Whistler association, containing his
largest painting and exhibition. A military museum contains
relics from the 1st Marquess of Anglesey's tenure, who commanded the
cavalry at the Battle of Waterloo. There is a fine spring garden
and Australasian arboretum, with an understorey of shrubs and wild
flowers, a summer terrace, and massed hydrangeas which give autumn
colour. A woodland walk gives access to a marine path beside the Menai Strait.
