Fort Belan originally built, at the behest of Lord Newborough, to be manned by his militia' to ward off any attempted invasion by Napoleon. Now operating solely as holiday accommodation. The Fort is approached from Dinas Dinlle beyond Caernarfon airport, sits at southern most end of the Menai Strait at Abermenai Point overlooking the narrow channel between the mainland and Ynys Mon/Anglesey. The Newborough estate at one time was centred around Glynllifon, the home of the Wynn Family. Within the extensive grounds of Glynllifon is another Fort manned by the private militia. There is a tower from which they could see and receive signals from Fort Belan. Helens Tower in nearby Caernarfon was also built by Lord Newborough to perform a similar function. Before its current use, it was open as a tourist attraction and as a holiday home for Lord Newborough and other members of the Wynn Family and their friends. Glynllifon came under the ownership of Gwynedd County Council. Like many stately homes, the cost of upkeep and taxation may well have been behind the decision to sell. Lord Newborough Glynllifon and took up residence at the Rhug Estate near Corwen.
