A recent holiday to Beaumaris in Anglesey North Wales with it’s stunning scenery and beautiful weather was all the excuse I needed to snap some great photos. Its name is based on the Norman ‘beau marais’, meaning ‘fair marsh’, a description of the site chosen by Edward 1st for the last of his ‘Iron ring’ of castles, constructed in his bid to control the Welsh. A‘must’ is to take a walk through the town, starting with a stroll along the seafront, taking in the pier and the views over the Menai Strait and Snowdonia then continuing through the charming streets with their picturesque cottages, many painted in soft pastel colours.
