Beaumaris Castle is located on Anglesey in north Wales. It started construction in the late 1200s, but the castle was never completed. I visited the castle in July. The castle is surrounded by a moat and has a set of outer walls and the inner walls, with the main fortress. There are nice views from the walls, and visitors can walk through narrow corridors inside the walls; there are many small rooms (latrines) that shoot off from the narrow interior corridors. The outer wall closest to the harbour contains a small chapel.

The castle is a UNESCO world heritage site, and it is one of the most preserved castles that I have visited. (The other two best-preserved castles that I have visited are also located in north Wales.)

A seagull sits on top of a pile of stone (forming the wall) on the castle's walls and looks out to sea.
