Plas Newydd.
"The approach is through a
park, agreeably diversified, which generally slopes towards the shore. The
spacious mansion, backed by a dense wood of venerable oak,
commands an extensive view of the picturesque strait, of the
Suspension and Tubular Bridges, and of the Carnarvonshire
mountains. Here the Marquis of Anglesey had the honour
of receiving King George IV. on his way to Ireland in 1821.
Her present Majesty, Princess Victoria, accompanied by
the Duchess of Kent, resided here in the summer of 1832."
