The most visited attraction in Beaumaris is Beaumaris Castle and many people visit the town purely for this reason.
The castle is an excellent example of medieval architecture and was originally built on the orders of King Edward I of the England as part of his plan to subdue the Welsh uprisings in the 12th century.
Beaumaris Castle was one of a number that were built but unlike all the other castles of the time this was built using a concentric design.
Unfortunately building work on the castle was never completed but visitors can still walk around the ruins and take in the wonderful sights and feelings of power from the period.

Another attraction well worth a visit is the Beaumaris Gaol in which criminals were tried and executed.
