Beaumaris Castle is a fascinating place to visit and a true masterpiece of medieval military architecture. Although the castle was never completed, which means there isn't as much to explore inside as in some other Welsh castles, its impressive structure more than makes up for it. The perfectly symmetrical design is remarkable, and the wide, water-filled moat creates a beautiful setting that makes the castle especially photogenic. Walking around the exterior offers stunning views from every angle. Definitely worth a visit if you're exploring Anglesey, and don't forget your camera—the scenery is spectacular, as you can see in my photos!

A beautiful castle in a beautiful town. Friendly staff, a nice informative video on the castle and its history. Well worth a visit. Would be great if they had little signs says what each room or area was used for.

Really interesting castle, you can walk along the battlements and go inside a lot of the inner walls, the chapel was beautiful, amazing stone carved ceiling and stained glass. Parking machine wasn't taking coins so needed to download an app.

Really nice Castle, some good information boards around the castle could literally spend all day exploring the grounds. Dog friendly but they are only allowed on the ground level. As the steps are uneven in some places and could easily slip over the side. Little gift shop is very nice and also sell some little treats for your furry friends. Definitely recommend going and seeing for yourself.
