The stylish Beaumaris Castle on the Island of Anglesey is a great unfinished masterpiece. It was built as one of the 'iron ring' of North Wales castles by the English monarch Edward I, to stamp his authority on the Welsh. But it was never finished money and supplies ran out before the fortifications reached their full height. In pure architectural terms Beaumaris, the most technically perfect castle in Britain, has few equals. Its ingenious and perfectly symmetrical concentric 'walls within walls' design, involving no less than four successive lines of fortifications, was state of the art for the late 13th century. As a matter of fact, this outstanding fortress is a UNESCO World Heritage inscribed site. Please note we do not offer hotels or other activities in this city at this time.

Visit Beaumaris Castle from Caernarfon or Conwy.
