Heading over Telford's Menai Strait's Bridge

After a little more souvenir shopping we returned to the bus. It was almost 4:00 when we left Beaumaris headed toward our hotel on the Welsh mainland. To get there we had to go over this famous old bridge. I took this shot to show just how narrow the Starit is and why having Beaumaris Castle positioned where it was was so vital. The castle sits at the tip of the green area on the left side.
