Anglesey

Anglesey (Welsh: Ynys M?n, pronounced (IPA), unniss mawn), is an island and county at the north western extremity of North Wales. It is separated from the mainland by a narrow stretch of water known as the Menai Strait. It is connected to the mainland by two bridges, the original Menai Suspension Bridge (carrying the A5), built by Thomas Telford in 1826 as a road link, and the newer, twice reconstructed Britannia Bridge, carrying the A55 and the North Wales Coast Railway line.
