Plas Newydd Country House

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.

Anglesey Golf Pass

Anglesey's 278 square miles of countryside accommodates seven beautiful golf courses. If you're not sure where the golfing should begin, invest in a Anglesey Golf Pass for the ultimate experience to play at Baron Hill, Anglesey Golf Club, Bull Bay, Henllys Hall and Holyhead.
