The name Beaumaris comes from the French phrase for ‘beautiful marshes’ and stems from the nickname given to the area by the French builders who constructed Beaumaris Castle in 1295 on what was then a marsh. Anyone visiting today will be bound to agree that it’s a description which aptly fits, as the town sits adjacent to the Anglesey coast and the waters of the Menai Strait.

Beaumaris Castle is one of Wales\' six UNESCO World Heritage Sites, despite never having been finished. The 700-year-old fortifications here were highly advanced for their time and still look formidable today, even when dwarfed by the mountainous backdrop of Snowdonia National Park.
