Beaumaris
A genteel Georgian seaside town on the Menai Strait, built around the most technically perfect of Edward I's castles. Beaumaris has a pier, a gaol museum, bobbing yachts and knockout views to the Eryri skyline — an easy, characterful base for the east of Anglesey and the Menai bridges.
Staying over?
Beaumaris is made for wandering — a maze of narrow streets, mighty castle walls and a good pub or two.
