Menai Bridge Pleasure Cruises

• 1 hour boat trip approx.
Includes the beautiful scenery bordering the Menai Straits, Bangor Pier and Snowdonia Mountain Range, small islands, sea birds and Telford's Suspension Bridge.

The bridge was designed to have 100 feet of clear space under the main span, to allow for the passage of the tall sailing ships.
This was done by designing a suspension bridge, with sixteen massive chains holding up a 579 foot length of road surface between the two towers. Although small suspension bridges had been built before, none approached the scale that Telford proposed for this one.

The stone used for the arches and piers was limestone quarried from Penmon Quarries at the north end of the strait, then carried down by boat. The ironwork came from Hazeldean's foundry near Shrewsbury.
