Castell Biwmares; Beaumaris Castle, Beaumaris — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Beaumaris Castle stands as Britain's most perfect symmetrical concentric design, its twelve outer towers and six inner towers forming a geometric jewel on Anglesey. Edward I spent fifteen thousand pounds building it between 1295 and 1330, yet funding shortages left the inner chambers empty when the work stopped. Welsh rebels under Owain Glyndŵr seized the unfinished stone in 1403, proving that even royal ambition could be broken by local fury. The castle later housed a martyr and survived civil wars before becoming a ruined park, but its sharp rings still suggest a king who wanted to draw a perfect circle around Wales.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castell Biwmares; Beaumaris Castle, Beaumaris as Castle from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Beaumaris Castle was built by the English during the late 13th century, under the orders of King Edward I, as part of his campaign to subdue Wales. It is important as one of the most complete and well-preserved examples of a late 13th-century stone castle in Europe.
