To commemorate Owain Glyndŵr, children will be able to visit all Cadw locations across Wales for free this weekend.

On Saturday, September 14 and Sunday, September 15 families will be able to visit monuments and learn about the history of Wales and its people.

Owain Glyndŵr Day is celebrated annually on September 16 and marks the anniversary of the proclamation of the Welsh national hero becoming Prince of Wales in 1400.

Head of Cadw, Gwilym Hughes, said: “The cost of living is still having an impact on families so by offering free access to children across our magnificent monuments, we hope that people will be encouraged to visit Cadw locations and give children a real taste of Wales’ extensive history. 

“Each Cadw location has a unique story to tell. Indeed, many of these shaped Owain Glyndŵr’s rebellion. Although he was ultimately unsuccessful in his ambition, his legacy endures at many locations, including some Cadw sites.

“We hope this weekend to commemorate his life and legacy will give an insight into our deep roots as a nation – making our rich heritage accessible to all.”

Cadw locations locally include Castell Bronllys, Tretower Court and Castle, and Llanthony Priory.
