Cadw's heritage sites across Carmarthenshire - which have been closed since March - will reopen today.

From today, Monday, members of the public will be able to safely visit some of Cadw’s 105 unstaffed heritage sites across Wales - including Dinefwr Castle, Dryslwyn Castle and Llansteffan Castle.

Further unstaffed monuments in Cadw's care will re-open later this summer - as soon as essential site maintenance, risk assessments and new site safety measures are completed and introduced, to ensure a safe and socially distanced visitor experience.

In line with guidance from Welsh Government, Cadw is also preparing to re-open most of its staffed castles, abbeys and historic houses later in the summer - which will see the introduction of new visitation guidelines and restricted visitor numbers via advanced online ticketing.

Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism, Lord Elis-Thomas, said: “Cadw’s unstaffed heritage sites range from magnificent castles built by Welsh Princes to historic chapels and even Neolithic tombs, some over 5,500 years old.

“We’re delighted to be able to start removing public access restrictions to selected unstaffed sites — particularly for the benefit of local communities who often use these spaces for wellbeing and exercise.

“However, public health and safety is our highest priority during this time, so, in order to keep our unstaffed sites open and safe for everyone, we politely ask that those who visit, do so respectfully and responsibly.

“And please remember, although Monday, July 6 marks the re-opening of 43 unstaffed heritage sites in Wales, all of Cadw’s other monuments will remain closed to the public for the time-being.”
