Description
Beaumaris Castle, a magnificent moated edifice with sturdy walls and defensive towers, is well worth visiting. Begun in 1295 it was the last and largest of the fortresses which Edward I built in Wales (a display in the chapel tower details the story of their construction). Ring walls some 16.5ft/5m thick with solid corner towers enclose the square inner courtyard.

A water-filled moat presents an impressive first-line defense outside the ring of walls. The Chapel Tower houses an exhibition on the castles of Edward I.
