Beaumaris is a town in east Anglesey, Wales.
The town was founded by Edward I of England who evicted the residents of Llanfaes in order to construct Beaumaris Castle. The town was restarted with only English settlers allowed to live within the town walls. It became the first county town of Anglesey.
Notable buildings in the town include the castle, a courthouse built in 1614 and in use ever since, a sixteenth century church and a museum of childhood. The town is also a port, now mostly used as a yachting marina.cy:Biwmaris
