Monuments to visit Beaumaris (Biwmares)

The doors open, and you're transported back to the prison world of the ^19th century: instruments of torture, prisoners' names engraved on the walls, remind us of the fate of these men who weren't always dangerous criminals. In 1840, Gaynor Jones was sentenced to a month's hard labor for stealing some milk. The women prisoners, separated from the men, did the cooking and were sometimes allowed to cradle their children born within the walls... We stroll through the rooms, witness to gloomy anecdotes.

Last castle of the Iron Ring, the iron belt erected by Edward I of England to contain the Welsh, it is not completely finished but very well preserved.

Begun in 1295, it uses the technique of "walls within walls" - to make it even more invincible although it has never known a battle. It therefore combines double enclosure structures, typical of the 13th century, with a central plan. Enjoy a walk on the walls to soak up the atmosphere and admire the view from its superb position overlooking the Menai Strait.
