Beaumaris is distinguished by its fine moat. See www.castlewales.com/beaumar. There was a long campaign by the English King Edward I to subdue the Welsh, and he built rings of castles to do that. We found castle signs all over. www.castlewales.com/home.
Conwy Castle and Beaumaris have towers in the common round form, but Caernarvon has angular towers. See www.data-wales.co.uk/castle1. Climbing around many castles is never dull - there is always another detail that suddenly pops out. Then, we add that detail as we look at the next castle.
Spellings can differ for many places. We also saw Beaumarais as a spelling.
