In a nutshell
Lovely open spaces.
tvor Says: Beaumaris Castle is one of the ring of castles that Edward I built to subdue the contentious Welsh. This was the last castle he built but did not finish it. It's located on the Menai Straight on the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales and the castle is right at the end of the...

Myfanwe Says: The George and Dragon public house is situated on Church Street, just off the main street of Beaumaris. It dates back to 1410. It has some great existing features on the inside together with lots of old pictures and plaques giving information about the history of the pub.
Take a boat trip to Puffin Island
Myfanwe Says: A great thing to do while visiting Beaumaris is take to the seas. From the Pier you can take a boat down the Menai Straits and around Puffin Island where you can see a fantastic variety of seabirds and may even see a Grey Seal or two if you're lucky.
Myfanwe Says: Criminals have stood in the dock of Beaumaris Courthouse since 1614 and today, this fascinating museum still sends a shiver down your spine when you realise how many were sentenced to death here. From robbers plundering ships to food rioters and murderers, this courthouse...
Myfanwe Says: This delightful little cottage garden is situated just off the square opposite the Castle entrance. There is a sign in the garden saying that the garden is sponsored by one of the local businesses nearby.
Myfanwe Says: Beaumaris has a fantastic moated Castle. Edward I started building work in 1284 in order to gain control over the Menai Straits. The building work stopped between 1300 - 1306 during the war with Scotland and then continued until 1330, but the task was never completed. The...

George and Dragon Inn: Oldest pub in Beaumaris
tvor Says: The pub is a few minutes' walk into the town centre from Beaumaris Castle on a side street. You can see it from the main street and there are several other places around it. We chose it because it was one of the oldest pubs in town, dating to the early 1400s. It had a couple...
The George & Dragon: Eat in a medieval Inn
lomi Says: This place has been around since 1410 right down the street from Beaumaris Castle. It is a great locals pub. The food served in the restaurant is timeless and plentiful, a bit of a sixties feel to the menu with Prawn cocktail, Roast Beef, Roast Chicken and Salmon but they...

Myfanwe Says: Situated in the Market Square, you'll find this wonderfull little courtyard. The shops here sell a variety of things from interior furnishings to paintings. The shop fronts are decorated in bright, vivid coulours with some great floral displays and hanging baskets to help...
lomi Says: Bora Da! (Good day)Hearing the Welsh language in Beaumaris is as likely as snow in August. There are so many English speaking people living in the town. The rest of the island is mostly Welsh spoken as a first language.
lomi Says: The pictueresque old Telford Bridge that joins Anglesey to the mainland can get very busy at peak times (particularly July/August). The newer bridge, that is part of the A55 is much faster, but you can miss Beaumaris altogether unless you take the exit for Menai Bridge after...
leics Says: 'Ye Olde Bull's Head Inn' was originally a coaching inn, on the route to Ireland. The main building dates back to 1472, and it's now very well-known for its food. However, if you walk along the side of it (Rating Street) you'll find something rather unusual. The door in the...
lomi Says: From the pretty town of Beaumaris drive (or walk) towards Penmon, this takes you into the lovely countryside, walking mostly along the coast. Park on Penmon beach if driving a car. Cross the road, and look for a track to the right of the house called Lliniog. This walk...
lomi Says: This 6th century cross was discovered in a field near Penmon Priory with a bit of the cross cut off. It is now located inside the Priory (free entry, but please leave a few coins for its upkeep if you visit)It had been used in the 11th century to build part of a window in...

We stayed near here for our family get together and it gave us time to re-explore some areas we had not been to for some years. I had also worked on the Welsh border and so I was able to show Koos...
