The Bangor University internationally acclaimed Marine Science department is situated in Menai Bridge with the MV Prince Madoc research vessel and the property is a ten minute drive to Ysbyty Gwynedd (Hospital). It is eleven miles from the very popular Zip World Penrhyn Quarry which attracts visitors to the area. A train from Bangor station will arrive in London Euston in 3 hours 20 minutes, Manchester Airport by road in 1 hour 40 minutes and Dublin via Irish ferries in 4 hours.
Anglesey is a popular holiday destination, well known for its beaches and ancient sites. The property is located close to the medieval town of Beaumaris, famous for its 13th century castle. The area is a walker’s paradise and a perfect location to explore the network of public footpaths and bridleways in the surrounding countryside and coastal paths around the island, taking in spectacular unspoiled landscapes, hill trekking in Snowdonia or exploring lakes and peaks for more challenging outdoor activity.
The area also offers a wide range of habitats and species in a relatively small area. North Wales proffers a unique mix of mountains, sea cliffs and crags for the advanced or beginner rock climber, scrambler or mountaineer. When the Snowdon range is wet the microclimate of Anglesey can offer alternative warm, dry locations to enjoy and explore. The waters around Anglesey are popular with sailors, with round island seal spotting, a shakedown cruise, racing, social cruising, exhilarating rib rides and sailing rallies. Stand-up paddle boarding, kite surfing, canoeing, coasteering or surfing are also available in the locality.
