As you approach Beaumaris Castle in Anglesey, you'll feel as if it has been lifted straight from your childhood dreams.

The ancient stone walls, adorned with moss and etched with history, stretch majestically from tower to tower. As you walk alongside, catch glimpses into the castle through narrow windows in the exterior wall.

Originally designed for archers to defend against invaders, let your imagination take flight as you envision yourself in the midst of a medieval battle.

The beautiful Beaumaris Castle

Construction of Beaumaris Castle ended in the 1320s due to a lack of funds, earning it the title "greatest castle never built." Despite this, Beaumaris Castle remains one of the most formidable and captivating medieval buildings in the UK!

Once you cross the moat and pass through the outer walls, you'll be greeted by the equally remarkable inner wall. Dragons are said to roam the grounds! Wander up staircases to the tops of towers and admire the beauty of North Wales from the castle walls. Roam along stretches of grass between the inner and outer walls before discovering secret chambers and a tucked-away chapel!

Once your adventures around the castle are done, visit Beaumaris Gaol for a slightly more macabre history lesson. A day out at Beaumaris Castle will surely be memorable for the whole family.
