CADW Open Doors
Every September, Cadw “Opens its Doors”. A selection of Cadw and other historical sites open their doors free of charge, some sites are not normally open to the general public, others may offer free guided tours and experiences.
Here are a couple of our favourite places that are open this weekend:
Barclodiad-y-Gawres
Open Sunday 28th September
Barclodiad-y-Gawres is a partially reconstructed Neolithic burial chamber, famous for its decorated stones. The spectacular, cliff side position of this later Neolithic monument is one of its great attractions and accessing it provides a short pleasant walk. Barclodiad-y-Gawres means ‘The Giantess’s Apronful’ and is a traditional local name. This is a chance to investigate this unique and important passage tomb which is not generally open to the public.
Free Tours will be at 11am, 1pm and 3pm. Meet at the monument. No booking required.
Harlech Castle
Open Saturday 27th & Sunday 28th September
Join guide, Siân Roberts, and discover the stories behind the stones of this spectacular structure in its stunning setting. We can highly recommend this tour, we held an event here last year followed by Siân’s excellent tour.
Free Tours will be at 11am, 1pm and 3pm. No booking required.
