About
A walk along the Belgian Promenade and Church Island offers a scenic and peaceful experience for you and your dog. Located in Menai Bridge, Anglesey, this picturesque area is perfect for a leisurely dog walk with stunning views of the Menai Strait and plenty of natural beauty to enjoy along the way. Here’s what to expect:
The Belgian Promenade is a scenic path that runs alongside the Menai Strait. Built by Belgian refugees during World War I, it’s a flat, easy-to-navigate route ideal for walking your dog. The promenade offers breathtaking views of the water and the Menai Suspension Bridge in the distance. It’s a calm, shaded route, making it a pleasant spot to walk during warmer days.

At the end of the promenade, you’ll reach Church Island (Ynys Tysilio), a small, peaceful island accessible by a footbridge. The island is home to the charming St Tysilio’s Church, a 15th-century building surrounded by ancient gravestones, and offers lovely views across the strait.

Church Island is small, but it’s perfect for a thoughtful wander. The footpaths meander through the churchyard and around the island, with plenty of places to stop and take in the scenery. Dogs are welcome, but it’s best to keep them on a lead here out of respect for the tranquil surroundings and the churchyard.
The entire walk along the promenade and around Church Island is dog-friendly. Be mindful of other walkers and keep your dog on a lead, especially on Church Island.
