About
Coed Môr is a National Trust woodland on the Anglesey shore of the Menai Strait, between the Britannia Bridge and the Menai Suspension Bridge, looking across to the mountains of Eryri. Paths and wooden walkways weave in and out of the canopy, pass beneath the Britannia Bridge and lead to a bird hide where cormorants and wading birds feed, and resident red squirrels reward patient watchers. The shoreline between the two bridges can be walked as an alternative to the boardwalks, with the island house in the middle of the Strait where the tide races past. Reviewers praise the views of both bridges and the mountains, the wildflowers along the walkways and the hide for waterbirds. Tips from visitors: there is no car park, so most people use the busy lay-by on the A5 above the wood and take the steep grassy path down. Dogs should be kept on leads at all times. The woodland paths run under the bridge and along the shore.
