Beaumaris Castle - The last of King Edwards I (Longshanks)Welsh Castles T he last of King Edward 1’s, 4 mighty castles located in North Wales. (Anglesey) T he castle was designed by the Savoyard mason Master James of Saint George Beaumaris was built from 1295 CE (r.   1272-1307 CE) to protect his territorial gains in the region . The castle featured the latest defensive designs of the period such as round towers, inner and outer circuit walls, massive towered gates and a fortified dock. It was never finished due to lack of funds and trouble brewing in Scotland so King Edwards resource and focus shifted. It was on my bucket list for quite some time (due to Covid amongst other things) before I got to visit and the wait was worth it. Even though it’s not finished, it’s magnificent. Almost symmetrical and very heavily fortified, with its position on the banks of the River Seiont, it’s very impressive. Ive visited all 4 now, I haven’t been inside Harlech as it was closed when we visited...
