From the Wikipedia article
Plas Newydd (Welsh for 'new hall') is a country house set in gardens, parkland and surrounding woodland on the north bank of the Menai Strait, in Llanddaniel Fab, near Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, Anglesey, Wales. The current building has its origins in 1470, and evolved over the centuries to become one of Anglesey's principal residences. Owned successively by Griffiths, Baylys and Pagets, it became the country seat of the Marquesses of Anglesey, and the core of a large agricultural estate. The house and grounds, with views over the strait and Snowdonia, are open to the public, having been owned by the National Trust since 1976.

Background
History
From its earliest known residence in 1470, Plas Newydd passed by inheritance and marriage through more than 400 years of a family's increasing concentration of wealth, titles and estates until the ascendency of the 5th Marquess of Anglesey, whose profligate spending almost bankrupted the estate. The 7th Marquess of Anglesey presented it to the National Trust in 1976 so that the house and grounds could be opened to the public.
