Menai Bridge and Beaumaris, Wales - 26th September 2011

By: miapearl

Hello Mum!
Today we walked across Menai Bridge to Anglesey.

The Menai Straits below are not the easiest to navigate.

My host says that there is a very sneaky Geocache hidden here!

Can you see the Britannia Bridge in the distance?

We jumped on a bus to Beaumaris. This is Beaumaris castle.

It has a moat!

I sneaked between the railings for a better photo!

Beaumaris has a courthouse. Charles Dickens was a visitor to see the trials. There is also a gaol but we didn't have time to visit it.

Beaumaris was host to a local Eisteddfod. The stones are part of the Eisteddfod. The pier and dock area of Beaumaris is being renovated and the boats are here temporarily.
