Welcome to the “Menai Bridge Community Heritage Trust” a community project to celebrate our two world famous bridges, the rich marine environment, the beauty of the straits and the story of the local people down the centuries.

The historic town and the Menai Bridge


We are very proud to present the “BRIDGES EXHIBITION”, the story of Thomas Telford and Robert Stevenson and the building of the two iconic bridges, all illustrated with original drawings and early photographs together with interesting and historic artefacts.

The exhibition also contains a wealth of information relating to the historic town and waterfront of Menai Bridge (Porthaethwy in Welsh, meaning the ferry or crossing-place of the Daethwy tribe)

Church Island with the backdrop of the Britannia Bridge


There are workshops for children to draw and build their own bridges, educational films relating to the bridges, and guided historical walks on the Menai Bridge waterfront and across the Menai Bridge. Refreshments, disabled access and toilets available.
