About

Menai ward encompasses the northern coastline of the Menai Strait, directly facing the island of Anglesey. The area includes the historic town of Caernarfon, dominated by its formidable medieval castle, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The landscape is defined by the tidal waters of the strait, with views across to the Menai Suspension Bridge.

The local economy is closely tied to the waterfront, with a working harbour and marina. The presence of the castle and the scenic Strait Path walkway are central features. The ward's character is shaped by this strategic maritime position, blending historical significance with its ongoing connection to the sea.
