DescriptionHome of the Marquess of Anglesey, with spectacular views of Snowdonia in Wales.

Plâs Newydd or Plas Newydd, located in Llanfairpwll, Anglesey, Wales, is the country seat of the Marquess of Anglesey. It is not to be confused with the house of the same name at Llangollen; the family's other seat being at Beaudesert, Staffordshire.

The house is situated on the bank of the Menai Strait and has magnificent views of Snowdonia. The house dates to the 18th century and is the work of James Wyatt. It also contains Rex Whistler’s largest painting and an exhibition of his work. The house was built in both the Classical and Gothic styles. At the house there is also a Military Museum which contains campaign relics of the 1st Marquess of Anglesey and the Battle of Waterloo.

The house is now owned by the National Trust. The 7th Marquess of Anglesey still retains rooms at the house. Lady Rose McLaren grew up at the house along with the 7th Marquess - her brother.
