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!): https://tfw.wales/ways-to-travel/rail/savings-and-offers/cadw

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

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

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

📰 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... 🤷🙂
