How Beaumaris works
Beaumaris visitor guide
Biwmares
Beaumaris (Biwmares) is Anglesey's castle-and-green town on the Menai — Isle of Anglesey taxi table; Georgian front, not Holyhead's ferry. This guide covers how you arrive, eat, stay and get practical help — then links into the full pillar pages.
Getting here
Most visitors arrive by car. Manchester and Liverpool airports are closer than Cardiff for most flights — pre-book private hire with luggage space.
The castle and green to the pier is a short hop.
Getting around
The castle, green and pier sit a short hop from each other. Hackney carriages use the Isle of Anglesey meter — the same table as Holyhead, not a second fare.
Private hire must be pre-booked with a price agreed when you book — see the Beaumaris tariff page.
Eat
Castle-green independents. Summer fills the town. FSA hygiene ratings run 0–5 — search the venue on food.gov.uk before you book.
Many cafes close by mid-afternoon. Holyhead is the ferry sitting, not this green.
Stay
Castle-green hotels and B&Bs. Book summer. Confirm breakfast, parking and cancellation on the venue's own site.
Holyhead ferry rooms are a different product on the same taxi table.
If something breaks
Gas Safe before any gas or boiler work. Electrical jobs should leave a certificate. Highway skips on a public road need an Isle of Anglesey permit — a registered skip company applies; confirm the current fee with the operator.
Get scope and price in writing before walls open, especially on green streets.
Do
The castle, green and pier are the core. Holyhead is a day trip on the same taxi table.
If you only have a weekend
Walk the castle and green, eat once with a checkable FSA rating, and sleep in town if you can. Leave Sunday without treating Holyhead as this page.
