Beaumaris On Foot

A Quaint Welsh Seaside Town Journey across the green pastures of Anglesey to Beaumaris, a delightful coastal town and home to Beaumaris Castle. Upon arrival, you will visit Beaumaris Castle—one of the finest examples of the great medieval castles found in Wales. Commissioned by Edward I, the castle was intended to be his crowning glory along the coast of North Wales. Although construction was never completed, the castle is considered a masterpiece and still dominates the town with its concentric defensive walls and surrounding moat. Take a stroll atop its fortress walls as you the learn about the great ambitions of the military architect behind the design. After your visit, you will enjoy free time to explore the quaint town on your own. Perhaps stop at one of the many quaint tea shops, or take a walk along the pier and see the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) station. Afterward, return to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines. Total time walking or standing normally ranges from 1.5 to 3 hours.
