Menai Bridge

United Kingdom / Wales / Menai Bridge / A5

Built in 1826 by Thomas Telford, the Menai Suspension Bridge was the first modern suspension bridge in the world. It gave the residents of the Island of Anglesey access to the Welsh mainland, without risking their lives on the ferries across the Menai Strait.
