Beaumaris Castle

Open daily all year: 1 March to 30 June 9.30am to 5pm; 1 July to 31 August 9.30am to 6pm; 1 September to 31 October 9.30am to 5pm; 1 November to 28 February 10am to 4pm. Last admission 30 minutes before closing. Closed 24, 25 and 26 December and 1 January. Cadw may close monuments at short notice in extreme weather.

Terrain level 2, easy: the visitor centre has automatic doors, a low desk and a short steep resin ramp on the exit, then a gravel path and a wide wooden bridge over the moat to the grassed outer ward; much of the castle can be seen from ground level, with gravel between the wards, while the corridors in the walls are up short narrow stairs of 10 to 15 steps and the wall walks need many more, with uneven floors, narrow doorways and handrails. The path round the moat is narrow and unfenced, so walk in single file; seasonal nesting birds roost on the wall walks. No toilets on site: free public toilets with accessible and baby-changing facilities are 50 m away on a flat walk. Portable induction loop, dog bowl, picnic tables (do not feed bread to the birds), exhibition, gift shop with guidebooks, free Wi-Fi; no cafe or audio guide. Drones are not permitted.

Dogs: Dogs on short leads are welcome all year on the ground-floor levels; the upper levels and wall walks are for assistance dogs only. The grassed outer and inner wards, the whole ground level inside the walls, are open to dogs on short leads with an admission ticket; a dog bowl is provided and the shop sells dog treats.
