Free entry to Wales's heritage to mark Patron Saint's Day

8th February 2011

Cadw, the Welsh Assembly Government’s historic environment service, is marking St Davids Day by offering free admission to all its directly managed monuments in Wales on Tuesday 1st March.

These include the magnificent Castle Coch, the 'fairytale'-style castle built on medieval remains, and one of the great medieval castles, Caerphilly Castle. Access to Caerleon Roman Fortress Baths and Blaenafon Ironworks continues to be free to ALL throughout the year.

Heritage Minister Alun Ffred Jones, said: “I am delighted to continue the St Davids Day free entry initiative. Over the last three years Cadw has welcomed close to 9,000 visitors to its sites on this important day in the nation’s calendar.

“Visiting one of Cadw’s sites will give a fascinating insight into a piece of our past, and what better way to celebrate St Davids Day? We hope many more people will take this opportunity to visit a site in Cadw’s care and appreciate for themselves the magnificence of Wales’ historic environment.”
