Plas Newydd (Anglesey)

Plas Newydd is a country house set in gardens on the shores of the Menai Strait in Anglesey, Wales. The current building has its origins in 1470 and was most substantially altered in the 18th century to become one of Anglesey's principal residences. The house and grounds have spectacular views over the strait and Snowdonia. The 1930s restyled interior is famous for its Rex Whistler's exquisite romantic mural and the largest exhibition of his works. A military museum contains relics from the First Marquess of Anglesey's tenure who commanded the cavalry at the Battle of Waterloo.
