Beaumaris Castle

Beaumaris Castle is a fortress of immense size and near-perfect symmetry, with four concentric rings of formidable defences, including a water-filled moat with its own dock. The outer walls bristle with 300 arrow loops, and the inner ward was designed to contain ranges of domestic buildings and accommodation. Although the castle was never fully completed due to lack of funds and trouble in Scotland, it remains a remarkable example of 13th-century military architecture and a great place to visit with family and friends. The castle is considered one of the finest examples of late 13th-century and early 14th-century military architecture in Europe and is part of the Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd World Heritage Site
