  1. I joined a really enjoyable history walk yesterday learning about the sieges at Coity Castle and King Arthur’s ‘real’ burial site within Coed-Y-Mwster. There are some really attractive rights of way all around the area 💚🥾🥾. #Coity #Coety #Castle #Castell #KingArthur #Bridgend #Wales #Cymru #Cadw

  3. Someone told me about a collab between #TransportForWales and #Cadw, the #Welsh #heritage body.

    You get 2-for-1 entry at their sites if you travel there via #train, and judging by the little guide I saw, it's ENTIRELY possible. (So pipe down, car people.)

    This is on offer until 30 September 2025, so hop on a train with a friend or partner or child and visit somewhere historic!

    You can read more here if you fancy it (I do!): tfw.wales/ways-to-travel/rail/

  5. On the way home to South Wales after my Llyn Peninsula adventure. A quick stop off to admire the impressive Criccieth Castle or, ‘the bright fort high on a rock’, as described by the 14th century Welsh bard Iolo Goch. #Poetry #Wales #Castle #Criccieth #Cymru #Llyn #Cadw #IoloGoch #History #Bard

  7. Made the most of the bright weather today and went for a bike ride via Bryngarw for a coffee and then onto the glorious Coity Castle. #Bridgend #Bryngarw #Beicio #CoityCastle #Coity #Castle #Cadw #Cycling #Wales #Cymru #Glamorgan #Coffi #Coffee

  9. And here's the BBC version. I wish the totally incompetent #Caerphilly council would just give it to #CADW or the #NationalTrust. They'd do a MUCH better job of looking after this important historic building. #Llancaiach #LlancaiachFawr #Wales

    BBC News - 'Jewel in the crown' site to close, says council

  11. Finally got the chance to visit Pentre Ifan for the first time today. How did they manage to lift a 16 tonne capstone 8 foot off the ground and balance it on three stones over 5000 years ago? #PentreIfan #Pembrokeshire #Nevern #History #Wales #PreseliHills #Cadw #ForgotMyHat #Cymru #SirBenfro

  13. Interested to learn the link between Emperor Macsen Wledig and King Edward I building plans for Caernarfon in 1283. Linking to the Mabinogion stories was his way of winning Welsh hearts and minds. #Macsen #Mabinogion #Caernarfon #KingEdwardI #CADW #Castle #Wales #Cymru

  14. Caerleon Roman Fortress and Baths Museum

    More about it and my adventures as an Italian learning Welsh visiting Wales, here (also link to fersiwn Cymraeg):

    There's something about a ruined castle that demands a #Monochrome image.

  18. 📰 Owain Glyndwr: Call for public takeover of #Sycharth site 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

    Personally I love that it was a theatre company doing a site visit ahead of a musical about Owain that raised the alarm that the site was overgrown and neglected. Culture and heritage folks, man :blobcathearthug:

    Whatcha reckon? Should #Cadw take on the site fully to look after it better? Apparently there are petitions and everything.

  20. 📢 Llys Rhosyr medieval court of #Welsh princes bought by #Cadw

    One of the royal courts of the Princes of #Gwynedd has been bought by Wales' historic buildings organisation, Cadw. Fabulous news, #Wales! Definitely a scheduled monument worth looking after.

    It's apparently the only court of this time period that has visible remains of the structures that once stood there, so that's pretty nifty.

  22. As #TombTuesday is a thing here's Pentre Ifan burial chamber in West Wales on a sunny day, not too far from where we used to live in Ceredigion.

    A few years ago now ...as an illustration of my mindset at the time this file was saved as "See how it frames the mountain how arty.jpg"

    Oh dear... 🤷🙂

  26. Back on July last year I had the privilege of visiting Castell Coety while it was being renovated by CADW for behind the scenes tour. #Monday #MondayPhoto #Castle #Herotage #Coity #CADW #Cymru #Bridgend

  27. Released today, a revamped Archwilio, an online tool for exploring archaeological and historical records for Wales, with records from the four Archaeological Trusts (Dyfed, Gwynedd, Glamorgan-Gwent and Clwyd-Powys), Cadw and RCAHM. archwilio.org.uk/wp/

    🔎Off to explore; I may be some time!
