Historic Beaumaris & Castle
Holyhead, United Kingdom
moderate
3:45 Hours
Soak up the sights of Anglesey on your scenic ride to Beaumaris, which is nestled on the island’s western shores. There you’ll find Beaumaris Castle, an unfinished masterpiece regarded as the finest of all the great Edwardian castles in Wales. Explore on your own, and wander around this state-of-the-art 13th-century structure, with its water-filled moat, perfectly symmetrical walls, and four lines of fortifications. It’s probably Britain’s most technically perfect castle. Afterwards, spend some free time in Beaumaris, which looks out across the Menai Strait to the mountains of Snowdonia. It’s brimming with churches, old inns, and elegant Georgian and Victorian townhouses.
