Autumn highlights

Autumn is one of the most beautiful times of the year to explore the garden, woods and parkland at Plas Newydd. Visit during the autumn season and you'll experience ever-changing colours framing the views across the Strait to Snowdonia.   

In the wooded parkland, discover an Australasian arboretum where the dark canopy of Chilean beeches contrasts with the airy and aromatic eucalyptus.  

Look out for the Plas Newydd red squirrels too, who’ll be busy hunting for nuts at this time of year.
