Crewyd yr ardaloedd cadwraeth gan Conservation areas were created by the Ddeddf Amwynderau Dinesig 1967 pan Civic Amenities Act of 1967 when it was benderfynwyd nad oedd rhestru adeiladau decided that listing historic buildings hanesyddol yn unigol yn ddigon i amddiffyn individually was not enough to protect lleoliad a grwpiau o adeiladau a oedd yn groups of buildings, which although not cyfrannu at gymeriad y lle fel cyfanwaith er individually listed contributed to the nad oeddent wedi eu rhestru'n unigol. character of the place as a whole, and Sylweddolwyd hefyd fod y llefydd rhwng their setting.
