The Menai Strait is a narrow stretch of shallow tidal water about 25 km long, which separates the island of Anglesey from the mainland of Wales. The strait is bridged in two places: On the right is the Menai Suspension Bridge designed by Thomas Telford and completed in 1826. On the left is the Britannia Bridge which was originally designed and built by the noted railway engineer Robert Stephenson in 1850 as a tubular bridge of wrought iron for carrying rail traffic.
