  • Obviously, because that's the most important thing Beaumaris has.

    Started in 1295, it's a perfect example of the concentric, symmetrical form of Norman castles. It was never finished (money ran out) but nevertheless would have been entirely impregnable before explosives were invented.

    Brilliant views of the Menai Straits and the mainland mountains, as well as towers, corridors, battlements, spiral staircases. Worth going to see.

  • The main street of Beaumaris is pretty enough, but does contain one real gem; a Medieval house. Dating from the 13th century, it's thought to be one of the oldest in Wales. It's a shop now (full of model ships, strangely) and the black and white painting is a Victorian embellishment (half-timbered houses were never painted when originally built). Still, it's nice to see it standing where it has done for 600 years so so.
