On Friday (21st) we squeezed over the Menei Bridge onto the island of Anglesey. First stop, lunch with a view at Dylans.

We then drove a short distance east to Beaumaris Castle, frequently described as ‘the greatest castle never built’. It was the last of the Welsh castles built by Edward I and was said to be the most perfectly designed after the experience gained building Conwy, Caernarfon and Harlech castles. Unfortunately, the money ran out in the 1320s, mainly because of the King’s new struggles against Scotland. Budget overspend is definitely not a new phenomena

After the visit we headed up the east coast of Anglesey to our stop for the evening: Rhosboeth CL, just outside Benllech.
