It is the main crossing point for the Isle of Anglesey with two road bridges across the Menai Strait.

Bangor and the Menai Straits really do offer the best of both worlds!

I may be elderly but definitely not unaware of his games. Must be short of something to do. I would not recommend anyone going there if they feel the cold. 20% seemed to me and. British Gas to be the correct temperature for this time of the year.

Therefore, my father, who is disabled wanted to go home due to the bungalow being cold. Unfortunately, this ruined our holiday.
