Welcome to the first Castle the Castle Casanovas visited (caveat: this was before we formed the Castle Casanovas, but we were little history nerds with a love of Horrible Histories, history and a strange fascination with WW2 documentaries - some would say we were destined to meet each other and form the Castle Casanovas others would say we were weirdos who found each other and realised they were with 'the one' when rapping to the Horrible Histories 'King of Bling' song drunkenly at home on one fateful Autumn evening).
If you are new to the Castle Casanovas - Hi! Hello! - we are trying to visit every castle in the UK (with some serious caveats and a baby in tow; some say we are mad some think we are genius). You can find out the full backstory here - but otherwise just know we are trying to visit all castles in the UK and having a whale of a time (currently anyways) doing it!
We visited Beaumaris Castle in October 2020, having only been together for about two months and keeping our relationship hidden from work colleagues (we work together) except for a few very close allies (she's at it again with the WW2 references). I was extremely excited to show Steve Beaumaris Castle. If you have followed me for a long time you will know how special Anglesey is to me and Beaumaris is one of the first castles I can truly remember visiting. I could not wait to take Steve as she is a lovely, partially built castle that is immersed in history, and is often referred to as "the greatest castle never built".
