All the Welsh beaches, estuaries, land and property owned by King Charles III

From Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle and the Sandringham Estate, King Charles III owns quite a few lavish properties. They are well-known across the world and are some of the most famous of the monarch's homes.

But the full list of what the King actually owns goes beyond all the royal palaces and includes huge swathes of land, beaches and estuaries across Wales. Land owned by the monarch includes Ogmore Castle and Tintern Abbey all the way down to mines and river beds from south Wales to the Isle of Anglesey.

The Crown Estate, which acts as a trust for the King, owns 65% of the Welsh foreshore and riverbed and more than 50,000 acres of land. Between 2020 and 2021, the Crown Estate saw the value of its holdings in Wales increase from £96.8m to £603m. Here are all the beaches, estuaries, land and property in Wales owned by King Charles III.
