Pentre Berw

Pentre Berw

Pentre Berw is a small village located on the island of Anglesey, in north Wales.

Pentre Berw is located just two and a half miles south of the county town of Llangefni.

A major road, the A5, runs through the village as does the disused Anglesey Central Railway. Indeed the village's most famous hotel "The Holland Arms" even had a station named after it. The village is located at the top of a gentle slope on the eastern edge of the Malltraeth marshes. Therefore a good view of the marshes and also of the Afon Cefni can taken in from parts of the village.

Nearby Plas Berw is a country house which dates back from the early 1600s. As well as the country house there are formal gardens and a deer park. The grounds cover some convert|8.5|acre|m2 and it is a Grade II listed building.
