  • Hansoms Restaurant
    HISTORY OF THE BULKELEY HOTEL In 1829, Sir Richard Bulkeley, a wealthy Anglesey landowner, commissioned The Bulkeley Hotel to be built for the purpose of a visit from the heir presumptive to the throne, the 13 year old Princess Victoria for The Royal Beaumaris Eistedffod and Regatta in 1832. Wanting to impress his royal guest with majestic views of the Menai Straits and Snowdonia Mountain Range, he set about demolishing 450 town dwellings on the Green to make way for the new hotel near to Beaumaris Castle where the Eistedffod was to be performed, so that the Princess would enjoy uninterrupted views. Joseph Hansom, a prolific English architect of the 19th Century, most renowned for his design of the Hansom Cab, a carriage which dominated the streets of Victorian Britain, created an elegant residence fit for royalty and the construction of the hotel was completed in 1832. On 6th August that same year, the day of the Royal visit arrived and Princess Victoria, her mother, The Duchess of Kent and the carriages of their Royal suite crossed Menai bridge to the Isle of Anglesey greeted by a Royal artillery salute. Upon arriving in Beaumaris, crowds lined the streets to welcome the Royal visitors to the town which was decorated with ribands, flowers and garlands and the vessels in Beaumaris Bay displayed the Royal colours. Upon reaching The Bulkeley Hotel, The Duchess and Princess climbed the grand staircase onto the hotel’s portico balcony overlooking Castle Street, where they were cheered and applauded by a huge crowd. During the Princess’ 10 day residency at the hotel, she visited the towns and castles of Caernarvon, Conway and Bangor, sailed on the Royal yacht Emerald and enjoyed steam-boat excursions along the Menai Straits.

Gallows Point Marina Report L6805/ X/00/513782 2. The Site & Surroundings Contents Planning Policy 2.1 The application site is located approximately 1km away from Beaumaris, to the west beyond Gallows Point. It is bounded to the east by the Point, to the north by the A545 and extends into the Strait, approximately along the mean low water mark. The coastline immediately to the west of the site is an area of extensive woodland that also covers the rising land to the north of the A545. 2.2 The dense woodland effectively screens views of the site from the A545 when approaching from the west. The site becomes apparent on emerging from the woodland. Short range open views of the site are obtained from the highway for a distance of approximately 200m. Here the A545 runs alongside the site's northern boundary, between the woodland and, to the east, commercial development on the Point. 2.3 Most of the site consists of the inter-tidal foreshore at Gallows Point. The foreshore comprises a mixture of shingle, rock and mud flats. 2.4 Immediately to the east of the site is Gallows Point spit. This extends into the Strait from the A545 for a distance of approximately 220m. Its southern extremity apart, the headland is developed and occupied by a variety of commercial and recreational buildings, almost entirely used for maritime activities.

  • Club Profile
    North West Venturers’ Yacht Club Club Profile Version 1.0 Ian Rodger 2003 Version 2.0 Edited R Morris 2012 This Club Profile is dedicated to Ian Rodger (1938 - 2006) who first prepared it and served the Club over many years. 1 North West Venturers’ Yacht Club Introduction Some fifty years ago, on the 8th October 1961, the North West Venturers Yacht Club was formed by a small group of yachtsmen who believed that considerable cruising distances could be covered by small production yachts, provided that the boats were both adequately equipped and handled by crews who were reasonably well trained. The main objectives of the club were thus set and have remained unchanged over the past fifty years. They are, as originally stated in the first edition of the club newsletter “The Venturer” (January 1962) as: “to encourage and develop cruising in small sailing boats and the principles of navigation and seamanship.” Today the yachts may be larger with better equipment and modern navigation aids enabling greater distances to be cruised, but the crews are just as vulnerable unless they are competent to handle and navigate their craft safely. This principle is as important today as it has always been. At the time of its formation the club consisted of some ten members and four boats. Since that time it has grown to 260 members with 140 listed yachts, and is still increasing. Location Friars Bay N Beaumaris town Beaumaris pier Gallows Point The club is situated on the north beach toward the south eastern end of Gallows Point, with views from the galley and lounge windows across Beaumaris Bay and the moorings.

  • Snowdonia National Park Seascape Assessment 1.0
    SNOWDONIA NATIONAL PARK SEASCAPE ASSESSMENT 1.0 Introduction The following Seascapes Character Areas and Forces for Change have been identified and defined following a joint project between Snowdonia National Park Authority, Anglesey County Council and Natural resource Wales. Much of the authoring and assessment work was undertaken by Fiona Fyfe Associates, with Countryscape and Bangor University (SEACAMS), between January and July 2013. The methodology (comprising desk studies, fieldwork on land and by boat, and writing-up) follows the current best practice guidelines for landscape and seascape character assessment. It reflects the holistic approach to landscape (and by extension seascape) of the European Landscape Convention, considering natural, cultural and perceptual qualities of seascape. The project was undertaken by a multi-disciplinary team with expertise in terrestrial, intertidal and marine environments. The study area for the project includes coastal land, the intertidal zone, and extends out to the territorial limit (12 nautical miles offshore). Where land outside the study area boundary contributes to seascapes this has been recorded. Within the study area there is a great diversity of terrestrial, intertidal and marine environments. These stem from the varied geology, geomorphology and coastal processes within the area, and also from thousands of years of human activity on land and sea. Combinations of natural and cultural processes continue to shape the evolution of the area’s seascapes. Seascape character assessment is a development of the well-established process of landscape character assessment. It divides the study area into Seascape Character Areas (SCAs) (geographically-distinct areas with a unique sense of place, and comprised of different combinations of SCTs).
