There are also boat trips available along the Menai Straits. It is also possible to visit the grounds without paying an entrance charge which gives you access to the cafe and shop. The food at the cafe is good and there are tables inside and outside. The shop stocks a good range of National Trust items.There is a children's adventure playground outside and sometimes in the summer you can catch a game of croquet in progress on the extensive lawns. The parking is free.

An excellent indie book shop which is always worth a visit while in town, especially as it's hard…read moreto say 'no' thanks to the vey inviting window display, which always look superb. Shop itself is well stocked with both Welsh and English books and a small selection of audio CD's and cards. If a book is not instock, it can be ordered in for the very next day. Staff are bilingual and are true experts at helping you and suggesting new books and authors. There wasn't any indictaion of this from the outside, but at the back of the shop there was a small coffee bar, with a few tables and chair and a very large comfortable sofa, where you could loose hours reading books. Also, there were toilets, computers for surfing the internet and a childrens play area. Very modern, yet the shop still had that vintage feel. You don't get that from WHSmith and Waterstones, that's for sure!

Poundland is a simple concept - everything either costs a pound or is two for a pound etc. It's a…read morenew shop located close to the M&S Foodhall in the recently opened Menai Centre and looks clean and well maintained. There are no real surprises in the stock, lots of batteries, DIY items, toiletries, food, drinks and so on and on the occasion I went lots of Halloween and Christmas stuff as well. Some decent bargains and some well known brands. It's worth a look and in a city with a large student population should do well.

A decent little card shop that holds a good variety of cards. I don't think the cards are much…read morecheaper than those offered by tesco in Bangor, and they're of similar quality (hallmark etc). If you live in town or are walking down the highstreet and need a card it's worth popping in, but to be honest I'll usually pick up cards from tesco along with my shopping. I'd expect there to be some more welsh cards to capitalise on the loaction, perhaps postcards and welsh gifts for tourists too. For welsh gifts you're better off at Siop Eryri across the road. For welsh cards, look in the old market hall. It's not a bad shop, and the staff are nice, but I fail to see what they offer that isn't done better and/or cheaper by a number of other places.

The collection of aircraft many of which you can sit in makes this museum an instant hit with adults and children alike. The relics from crashed aircraft from north wales are very interesting and the gift shop has plenty of selection.

Twm Pen Stryd is a comprehensive gift and coffee shop in the picturesque village of Moelfre. The…read morecoffee shop to the rear is cosy with just a few tables, which adds to its charm; the ceiling being lined with teapots. For some people they may have gone a little overboard on the decoration though. The coffee shop's menu is fairly comprehensive, they serve a cracking cup of coffee, and the range of cakes is impressive. The owner is friendly and enthusiastic, and gave us some great recommendations of other places to visit on Anglesey. The gift shop at the front of the store is like a tourist gold mine, again very tightly packed with a whole plethora of goods. Cards, themed goods, items of clothing, childrens toys, jewellery and ornaments. Mostly of the highest quality, however, on the whole, a little pricey. Definitely targeted at the steady stream of tourists that are attracted to Moelfre though.

Siop Eryri is another gift shop in Caernarfon. They cater mainly for visitors and tourists, plenty…read moreof trinkets and tat, plenty of postcards with photographs of the Castle platered all over, wooden love spoons, you know the crack by now. Siop Eryri does have one redeeming feature for those that live locally, and that is it's hefty supply of Welsh greeting cards. Absolutely spot on for christmas and birthdays cards for that super-welsh relative. Don't expect to find anything here that you won't find in any of the other gift shops, but you can expect to find the same tat at a lower price here. I guess it's horses for courses and this shop does fulfil a genuine need in a little touristy town like Caernarfon. Worth a visit if you're french, over 60, or bored.
