Beaumaris (beautiful marshes) is a pretty town on the Menai straits with a castle begun in 1295 but never finished. The castle has a moat, an outer wall and an inner stronghold. It was capable of being supplied by sea, but Edward I ran out of money. The school building was erected in 1816, opposite the churchyard and next door to the gaol. Crabs are numerous and fished-for from the pier.
