Open Doors - Plas Newydd House and Garden

The ancestral home of the Marquess of Anglesey sits majestically on the shores of the Menai Strait, a family home enjoying breathtaking views of Eryri (Snowdonia).

The surrounding gardens are great for exploring, and include an Australasian arboretum, Italianate terrace garden and extensive woodland walks.

There’s plenty for little explorers too, including a hand-built tree house, nine-hole Frisbee™ golf course, and adventure playground. You might even meet one of the resident red squirrels!

The house is home to a Waterloo-inspired military museum, works of art, regular exhibitions and, at its heart, Rex Whistler's famous 58-foot fantasy landscape painting.
