Best for families who like a slow wander through gardens and woodland, with Snowdonia views and the chance to spot Red Squirrels along the way.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
The pull here is a grand house set in wide gardens and woodland that reward a slow wander, with real odds of spotting Red Squirrels and views stretching to Snowdonia. Weigh the walking first: stairs and slopes cross the grounds, and though the ground floor is accessible, there is no lift to the second.

“Interesting house with lovely gardens and outstanding views across the Menai Strait. Masses of free parking, decent shop, cafe , toilets and a kiosk near the house. There is also a well stocked 2nd hand bookshop. Well worth a visit to break your journey around North Wales. There was a special exhibition on the rather flamboyant 5th Marquis when we were there..Not sure when it ends.”

“If you plan ypur visit on one of National Trusts open day remember to come early because parking fills very quickly. Lovely place to visit for a day trip. Lot of gardens to walk around gorgeous views of the Menai Bridge, house itself offers so much history. Icecream sold on site, there is caffee and gift shop too. Overall lovely day”

Overview
A National Trust estate where the grounds do a lot of the work: woodland paths that open onto the Menai Strait, a second-hand bookshop worth a rummage and a kiosk near the house for when little legs need a break. Facilities are sorted too, with a cafe, toilets and shop on site, so a long morning here rarely feels like hard work with children in tow.
