	Beaumaris, Anglesey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beaumaris is a town in east Anglesey, Wales.
		The town was founded by Edward I of England who evicted the residents of Llanfaes to Newborough in order to construct Beaumaris Castle.
		Notable buildings in the town include the castle, a courthouse built in 1614 and in use ever since, a sixteenth century church and a museum of childhood.

	Beaumaris Castle
		Beaumaris (the name translates loosely as "fair marsh") is a wonderfully symmetrical castle created out of concentric rings of battlements punctuated by round towers at the corners and along the walls.
		Master James' master stroke, though, was that the entrances to the outer wall and the inner are staggered, meaning that if an enemy breached the outer defenses, they would have to turn sharply and face murderous broadsides from the castle walls before they reached the inner gate.
		Best of all, Beaumaris is far enough off the beaten track that you will not have to fight your way through the crowds as you may in larger centres like Caernarfon.
