Plas Coch is a historic heritage site located in Anglesey, North Wales. It is a Grade II listed mansion, renowned for its architectural significance and historical importance. The house was built in the early 19th century and has been associated with prominent figures throughout its existence.

Originally constructed for the wealthy Bulkeley family, Plas Coch showcases an impressive Greek Revival style. The mansion features a symmetrical layout, with a central entrance portico supported by six Ionic columns. This architectural design is a testament to the elegance and grandeur of the period.

Over the years, Plas Coch has been home to several notable residents, including Sir Richard Williams-Bulkeley, who served as Lord Lieutenant of Anglesey. The house also played a significant role during World War II when it was requisitioned by the military for use as a convalescent home.

The mansion is surrounded by well-maintained gardens and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
