These people disgust me.

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

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!

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

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

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

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

Only 3 days to go until me and the ever fabulous @druid venture 200 miles in a north-westerly direction to our holiday #hideaway on #YnysMôn for 2 whole & well deserved weeks.

So, expect #spectacular views of #glorious #landscapes, moody #seascapes & all sorts of #random stuff.

And one or two of us truly.😁

We shall be visiting #Cadw #castles, #NationalTrust #gardens, #plant #nurseries and hundreds of cafés and chip shops.

The odd #review may also appear...

Kidwelly Castle / Castell Cydweli

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

📰 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.

📢 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.

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... 🤷🙂

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

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. https://archwilio.org.uk/wp/

🔎Off to explore; I may be some time!
