This is one of the most amazing castles that we seen on our trip! When I think of castles I think of a molt around the whole outside and this is exactly what I would dream of! It is really unique and how they designed to build it. It also feels like it is a really fortified Castle which would be very hard to enter! There's not much on the inside, just the walls that are remaining! It is a great piece of history of what is still remaining!

The castle is very nice and well preserved for a ruin. Staff was very friendly and gave as map at the entrance. The castle was very beautiful but smaller than I expected and took less than 1 hour to visit but well worth the visit. It's history was fascinating. It is also well located just on the outskirts of the village of Beaumaris.

This was a surprisingly fun visit. I expected it to be small and just look at the walls but it's not Loved walking the walls, the inner passages and the cloister rooms with awesome acoustics. Fab views in all directions There is no bathroom once you pay to get in as these are outside so go before

Great castle, everything you would expect from the most to the bridge in and huge walls. What an amazingly impressive place this would have been if it had been completed. Sadly funds ran out as Edward turned his attention to Scotland. Nice walk around the walls - watch out for the cobbles as they can be slippery if wet. Interesting short film giving you the history of the place as well. Worth a visit if you are in the area, you won’t be disappointed.

This castle was great. It had so much history, a short film, and detailed information around it. It's great just looking and thinking about how it would have looked in the past. The rooms were small inside. The court yard was large with benches. A good size gift shop. It's a great photo opportunity round every corner.

A real treat on Anglesey. Quiet place with amazing views on a clear cold winter day. We were able to walkthrough the castle without waiting for other visitors. Great gift shop and lots of pubs and tea rooms for lunch!

Great Castle, so much to explore as the walls are so well preserved. The chapel is very impressive. There was a very friendly lady on site who gave us so much information, which was really helpful.

Having been brought here as a kid by my parents i have always had a special place in my heart for Beaumaris castle (as well as all the Welsh castles i saw with my family when I was a young lad), there's something magical about this place that continues to draw me back time and time again, those childhood memories with loved ones come flooding back, I'll never tire of coming here, simply breathtaking.

This is a fantastic castle. Surrounded by a nice moat, located in a pretty town near the water. This was the last of the royal strongholds created by Edward I in Wales. A very nice size fortress. A lot bigger than it seems from outside. It was even meant to be bigger, but history and lack of money got in the way in the 1320s. But even as is it, it's a real beauty. It's in great shape and there's lots to see. Including walking all around on top of the wall. Just about 8£ a person. A fair fee, because there's really plenty to do and there are countless photo ops. Dogs are even allowed, our Bulldog loved it. So did we. There's a nice shop as well with books, souvenirs and nice glassware. Bought a bunch of Whisky glasses. Nice quality - fair prices. A fantastic visit and one of the highlights of all the castles we've visited on this years Road Trip through the UK. If you arrive by car, your best bet is the nearby Beaumaris Green Carpark. 5£ all day. Short walking distance.

Don't feed the water fowl, they say - but just tell that to the water fowl! The slightest crinkle of plastic and they come fleetingly, begging coyly and making great lipid pools of their dark eyes to entice visitors to drop down some bread crumbs for their wee bellies. Seriously, how could one deny them? Gorgeous castle - in excellent condition with plenty of places to explore and "do not cross" cables on parapets to disobey (not that I did - but those two motorcyclists did!). Very enjoyable and worth the visit!

Cool "unfinished" castle. They let you explore most of it and it's very well preserved. It has most of the conventional castle components such as curtain walls and a moat. It's a good stop to make while visiting wales. It would be nice if they gave a bit more historical information with entrance ticket.

We really enjoyed this Castle, a pity that some areas are of no access but safety is a priority. The cost for the castle is £15.75 for a family (2 adults and up to 3 children) which is well worth it. The kids loved it too! (10 and 7 yrs).

During a recently holiday to Anglesey we visit the castle and I was really pleased that we did. The castle itself is kept in and excellent condition and the staff in the entry / shop are very friendly. Access to the site is excellent you get to climb up the turrets and walk along the top of one of the walls, the walkways are enclosed and are safe for SUPERVISED children. Disabled access is poor but as you would suspect when this castle was built disabled access wasn't a priority.

Step back in time while humming the music from "The Holy Grail" in this Isle of Anglesey landmark. They would make a fortune selling coconut shells in the visitor center.

Not a lot to add that hasnt already been written on here already. I visited on a Saturday towards the end of March. The last entry is 30 minutes before closing, but you will need longer than that to get round everything. As its that little bit further to drive than some other areas around here, it doesnt get quite as busy as other tourist areas in the region. In fact, despite it being a Saturday, we pretty much got the whole castle to ourselves which was good for taking photos without having lots of people in shot. At times you could almost pretend you were in Game of Thrones owning your own castle. The upkeep is fantastic, and theres plenty of places to explore....stairs leading to small rooms that offer fantastic views out over the beach. Entry was just £4.50 which is fantastic value. I think we spent around 90minutes in total just exploring each nook and cranny. Theres all day parking for just a couple of quid for the whole day near the castle on the front too (near the RNLI station). If you take just that little extra effort to leave the main land and visit this castle you wont be dissapointed.

A stunning castle well maintained and very interesting. Lovely walks around the castle, and for the brave and healthy a climb up to the turrets is well worth it. Enjoy walks around the walls and the feeling of space with the smell of the sea is very exhilarating. The seagulls are the size of small Helicopters so hang on to your sandwiches as a refusal can offend!! Lovely shop to look around for that keepsake and a reasonable admission price.

The Last of Edwards castles in Wales , never finished . Massively built this concentric castle was never put to the test . Great value .

This is a beautiful castle, set in stunning beaumaris overlooking the fantastic menai straits with stunning views and scenery. The town of beaumaris itself is well worth a visit. It's a lovely day out and I'd recommend it any time.

Well kept and lots of places for children to run around and play. Sometimes they have historic re-enactments which are really interesting. Nice way to spend the afternoon and then go for fish and chips by the sea
