Beaumaris Castle
Beaumaris Castle , Castle Street, Beaumaris, Isle of Anglesey, Gwynedd, LL58 8AP.
Impressive moated castle overlooking the Menai Straights. Beaumaris has been declared a world heritage site.
Building work began in 1295 and it was the last of the great Welsh castles built for Edward I by his chief military architect, Master James of St George. The castle has an almost perfect symmetrical concentric layout, with a high inner ring of defences surrounded by a lower outer circuit of walls, surrounded by a moat. At the southern end was a tidal dock for shipping, protected by the shooting deck on Gunners' Walk.
