Beaumaris: castle, seafront and Penmon
A medieval castle, an ice cream on the seafront and a 6th-century monastery on the island’s eastern tip.

The plan
Morning: Beaumaris Castle
Walk the walls for views over the Menai Strait to Eryri.
Lunch: The Liverpool Arms
Homemade pies and Sunday roasts on Castle Street, with dogs welcome in the bar.
Seafront: Red Boat Ice Cream
Gelato made on site, then a stroll along the green and the pier.
Afternoon: Penmon Priory
Drive about 15 minutes to the holy well, the dovecote and views of Puffin Island and the lighthouse.
Winter or wet-day swaps
We can’t confirm that Beaumaris Gaol is open, so check with the town council before planning around it. On a wet afternoon, spend longer in the castle or head to Pili Palas near Menai Bridge (to 31 October).
