The Great Little Trains of Wales are a very special way of seeing some of the most beautiful scenery in the British Isles.
If you are a keen gardener or want to take something very special back to remember your stay in North Wales, there is the renowned nursery Crûg Farm, which is just a few minutes away near to Caernarfon, with so many interesting and varied species of plants from all over the world. Many 'Crûg' plants can be seen growing in Plas Cadnant Garden.
With a wide choice of places to eat right on your doorstep for all kinds of occasions, Menai Bridge and Beaumaris have it all. From a relaxed pub atmosphere where children are often welcomed, to the more sophisticated A la Carte venues and fine dining, all this is within just a few minutes walk or short drive. There are many cafes and tea shops where delicious local cakes can be sampled over a morning coffee or afternoon tea, after a walk round the shops or visitor attractions.
You can discover Anglesey's culinary diversity by following the 'Taste of Anglesey Food Trail' or visit the annual Oyster and Welsh produce festivals or even visit the Jam Factory. Anglesey also has its own real ale brewery, a vineyard and a working windmill producing organic flour.
