Beaumaris Castle Visualisation

[@buildingourhomestead0]

Beaumaris Castle is by far my favorite castle and I have to say the work you guys have done in virtually recreating it is astounding!

[@XperienceDigitalHistory]

Many Thanks Aaron :)

Thank you for this. I was born and bred near this beautiful castle, they used to hold Carnivals the, where all the different Carnival Queens and the escorts would be at the centre of the castle. It was a truly happy occasion . Queens from all the surrounding villages from Anglesey would be in colour costumes. Why did it end. It was joyous for the children and adults to watch. Bring it back , I'm sure people would like to reminisce and have enjoyment

[@jamesgtmoore]

What kind of queens are you referring to? Ones with the XX sex chromosome and a uterus? ;)

I thought you time-traveled at first read!

[@johnwinterbottom4509]

have visited many times, with kids and grandkids. Watching the children running about, it,s hard to imagine it like this.

Stunning visualisation. I used to live on Rating Row and have very fond memories of Beaumaris and the castle. Thanks for sharing.👍

[@XperienceDigitalHistory]

Much appreciated that you appreciate it :)

[@rubyrae7455]

Wow thank you so much for this

[@Peter-lm3ic]

An impressive castle even if unfinished. What also impressed me was the iron rings on the outside of the walls for tying up boats still in situ!

[@dorianleakey]

I am always pondering how these amazing castles, particularly ones that would have doubled as palaces like Beaumaris were abandoned. The scale of the place is easily missed on a screen. Thank you for doing this.

[@jonomoth2581]

Beaumaris was never finished due to the king at the time running out of money from building several similar large castles to consolidate English power in wales

[@dorianleakey]

@@jonomoth2581 I wish i had visited them in order, i saw Flint and Ruddlan after Beaumaris, Conwy and Caernarfon. I get the impression it was meant to be more palacial.

Понравилось!

[@regplate2923]

What time in history is that intended to be? Originally the sea or perhaps a canal came up to the castle and boats would sail right up the the castle to on/off load.

what is the music? thank you

[@IgroSome]

I'm making a project based off this castle. It's so cool! If anyone knows, what's the width of the castle?

[@bujin1977]

It's been 2 months since you asked this question, so you probably already have the answer. If not, depending on how accurate you need, what about using Google Maps and the distance measuring tool? For example, that tells me that the inner courtyard is about 58 metres across.

[@IgroSome]

@@bujin1977 oh, thank you! Yes, I already finished this project. But that is very smart! Thanks!

[@jonomoth2581]

@@IgroSome what is the project?

[@IgroSome]

@@jonomoth2581 this was 2 years ago lol. but it was a project where we had to make a perfectly scaled model of a castle of our choice, and i picked this one

Hola dale like si lo viste por el cole jajajaja

[@Valencetheshireman927]

I wish they’d actually finished building this castle instead of abandoning it two thirds of the way through .🤦‍♂️

[@George-Hawthorne]

There are many castles that went unfinished. Not finishing this one is a criminal offence.

[@Conorp77]

The Welsh were pretty happy it went unfinished.

[@Valencetheshireman927]

@@Conorp77 I doubt that considering it made no difference whatsoever to them.
