Caernarfon and Menai Strait - General Info
Description:
The Menai Strait is a narrow stretch of tidal water about 18nm long that separates the Isle of Anglesey from mainland Wales.
Caernarfon lies on the mainland coast at its southwestern end and Bangor at the northeastern end. The strait is crossed by the Britania road bridge and, to the east, by the historic Menai rail bridge.
The turbulent stretch of water between the two is known as the Swellies and should not be transited without consulting local pilotage notes. Available at www.caernarfonharbour.co.uk
