Menai Bridge (Welsh: Porthaethwy) is a small town and community on the Isle of Anglesey in north Wales. It overlooks the Menai Strait and lies by the Menai Suspension Bridge, built in 1826 by Thomas Telford. It is the third largest settlement on the island, with a population of 3,850, and occupies the area of the former parish of Llandysiliogogo, whose former church continues in use as a mortuary chapel (see below). There is a range of buildings including the old court house, a number of old pubs and the buildings associated with the wood-yard (in the process of being converted to houses). There are many small islands near the town, including Church Island.
