The first one was Beaumaris Castle, a late thirteenth century fortification built from local stone, moated, and in a symmetrical form. Its walls were in good condition, having escaped the practice of slighting (deliberately damaging) that followed strategic structures that had been loyal to the King during the Civil War.

Caernarfon Castle (aka Caernarvon) is located in North Wales and was first built from 1283 CE by Edward I of England (r. 1272-1307 CE) to help, along with several other major castles, control the newly conquered area.
