ST DAVID’S DAY: Free entry to Kidwelly Castle and St Davids Bishop’s Palace as part of Wales-wide heritage scheme
Kidwelly Castle in Carmarthenshire and St Davids Bishop’s Palace in Pembrokeshire are among 17 historic sites across Wales offering free entry on Sunday, 1 March to celebrate the nation’s patron saint.
The scheme is run by Cadw, the Welsh Government’s historic environment service, which normally charges admission to the sites. In lieu of payment, visitors are being asked to consider a voluntary donation to Wales Air Ambulance, though there is no obligation to donate.
How to Claim Free Tickets
Visitors must book their free tickets online in advance through Cadw’s website. Tickets will be sent to the email address provided at checkout, and visitors must bring proof of booking on the day of their visit.
First Minister Eluned Morgan said:
“St David’s Day is such an important opportunity for celebrating everything that makes Wales a special nation with our unique identity and culture. Visiting a Cadw site is a fantastic way to celebrate Dydd Gwyl Dewi and learn more about Wales’ incredible history.”
Jack Sargeant, Minister for Culture, said:
The impressive gatehouse at Kidwelly Castle, which features a drawbridge and portcullis. The Norman stronghold is one of 17 Welsh heritage sites offering free tickets this St David’s Day. Image: CADW“I am so pleased that Cadw will, again, be giving away free entry tickets for St David’s Day. Visiting one of these special places filled with history is a fantastic way to celebrate what makes Wales unique. I’d urge anyone interested to book their tickets as soon as possible to avoid missing out.”
About Kidwelly Castle
Norman stronghold is a match for the greatest castles of Wales
Kidwelly Castle began in the early 12th century as a Norman ‘ringwork’ castle made of wood and protected only by an earthen bank and ditch. It was under constant attack by Welsh princes including the Lord Rhys, who captured it in 1159.
By the 1280s the Chaworth brothers, powerful Marcher lords, had created the stone ‘castle within a castle’ that still stands today. The fortress features a great gatehouse with drawbridge and portcullis, and four towers of the inner ward creating a “true killing zone” for attackers.
The castle is so impressive it appears in the very first scene of ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’. Even the forces of Owain Glyndŵr couldn’t break through its defences.
Location: Castle Road, Kidwelly SA17 5BQ More information: Visit Cadw’s Kidwelly Castle page

Magnificent medieval palace that rivalled its cathedral for glory
There was only one top job for an ambitious cleric in medieval Wales: Bishop of St Davids in Pembrokeshire. A 12th-century pope had decreed that two trips to St Davids were equal to one to Rome, turning it into a centre of pilgrimage for the entire Western world.
Between 1328 and 1347, Bishop Henry de Gower turned a building only fit for ‘servants and animals’ into an immense palace. The east range was his private domain, whilst the south range was for show and ceremony. It was here in the great hall that Bishop Henry dispensed justice, held feasts and welcomed distinguished pilgrims.
The Reformation marked the beginning of the end, with William Barlow, first Protestant Bishop of St Davids, allegedly stripping the lead from the roofs himself. But even as a ruin, this palace beside its glorious cathedral remains an awe-inspiring space.

Supporting Wales Air Ambulance
Abi Pearce, Wales Air Ambulance Corporate Partnership Manager for South Wales, said:
“People can enjoy visiting some of Wales’ most iconic historic sites on St David’s Day, knowing they are helping save lives! We are hugely grateful that all visitors to Cadw sites will be granted free access and we hope they donate to our lifesaving service. Since our launch in 2001, we have carried out over 55,000 missions.”

Last night, my wife and I went to a Candlelight Concert where we heard a string quartet playing Queen. It was really good and a lot of fun!
As we were leaving, we ran into some good friends we didn't know were going to the concert and ended up going to dinner with them.

I was able to wake up and be with the Castle Crew today and get some screenshots of St. David's Cathedral in Wales. St. David's day is March 1st and I have ancestors buried here. Edmond Tudor, and Henry VII Tudor that I know for sure. #histodons #Wales #stdavidsday #stdavids #stdavidscathedral #familyhistory #ancestry #genealogy #geneodons #tudors

I'm too much of a fair weather walker to brave today's Thunder, lightning, hail and torrential downpours, so this #DailyPhoto is another one from early October. The wonderful #StDavids #Cathedral in St Davids, #Pembrokeshire . The ruins of the Bishop's Palace can be seen in the background and Carn Llidi hill in the far distance.

The #PortableAntiquitiesScheme - Cymru is contributing to a forthcoming Virtual Tour event, led by Dig Ventures, who are currently excavating at Rosina Vallis, near to #StDavids. The tour is online, free, and gives a chance to explore the ongoing excavations. I'll be there talking about the sort of finds that we might expect to identify from an early monastic site.
