Introducing Beaumaris (Biwmares)
Beaumaris has always been the island’s principal town and chief port. Today it is a picturesque collection of grandiose, flaking pastel Georgian buildings, with a wonderful waterfront location, looking across to Snowdonia. Busy by day but quiet by night, it has a buoyant feel and lots of infrastructure for tourists, plus a slew of upmarket new openings, including galleries and boutiques. From Beaumaris, it’s just 7 miles to Bangor and a 30-minute drive to Holyhead. Traditionally, the superb, fairy-tale castle, which James of St George built here for Edward I, has been the main draw, but as Beaumaris reinvents itself for a new generation of tourism, it has blossomed as a centre for sailing, walking and water sports.
