Statue of Nelson on shore of Menai Strait

The statue of Lord Nelson is located on the shore of the Menai Strait. It features a square, battered chamber constructed from rubble masonry, with limestone dressings and a roof platform. Atop this platform stands an octagonal plinth, which supports the statue of Lord Nelson dressed in naval uniform, gazing out over the strait. The circular base of the statue is inscribed with "Clarence Paget Sculpt. 1873." The chamber includes a tapering, square-headed doorway on the north face and a narrow rectangular doorway on the north-northeast face of the octagonal plinth, both fitted with studded plank doors. The upper door opens onto a railed platform, which is flanked by three cast iron balusters on each side. Slate tablets on the west and east faces of the chamber read: "FELL / AT / TRAFALGAR / 1805" on the west and "A LADDWYN / YN / TRAFALGAR / 1805" on the east.
