South-west Wales itinerary: the Wales Coast Path The Wales Coast Path launched in 2012 and stretches along 870 miles of stunning landscape, passing many historic sites and places of interest along the way, including some of Cadw’s fascinating castles and palaces. If you’re in south-west Wales follow the coastal path to Kidwelly Castle and Laugharne Castle, to learn about the stories of the Lords of the Southern March and the effect their activities had on the making of Wales, or discover the extent of the wealth and power medieval bishops enjoyed at Lamphey Bishop’s Palace and St Davids Bishop’s Palace... Laugharne Castle Picturesque Laugharne Castle stands on a low ridge overlooking the wide Taf estuary, and is one of a string of fortresses controlling the ancient route along the south Wales coast. The north-west tower’s unusual stone dome roof is a towering feat not to be missed, nor are the spectacular views from the battlements. In more recent years it has become a site of inspiration for some of Wales’s literary greats. Dylan Thomas wrote his series of short stories, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog and Richard Hughes wrote his novel, In Hazard, in the castle’s gazebo. Kidwelly Castle Lamphey Bishop’s Palace Kidwelly Castle is a chronicle in stone of medieval fortress technology.

Lamphey’s gilded on the other. In 1136 Princess Gwenllian (wife of the Welsh lord of existence came to an abrupt end when it was handed over to Henry Deheubarth) died in battle against the Normans who held Kidwelly VII in 1546. Its great hall and inner gatehouse are particularly fine at the time. If you want a truly medieval moment, catch a glimpse of architectural achievements. It is also a site of more modern history, Kidwelly shrouded in early morning mist. used as a base for RAF and US Army units during World War II. 1 A59 A565 3 26 M58 A570 7 M6 A58 6 A580 23 5 LIVERPOOL Amlwch M57 Birkenhead A5025 2 Capel 1 M62 1 Caer y Twrˆ r Hillfort Lligwy 5 7 2 6 A57 Lligwy 2 Holyhead Mountain Hut Group Tregwehelydd Standing Stone Burial Chamber Great Ormes A551 3 1 Din Lligwy Head 3 Caer Gybi Roman Fortlet Penmon Priory Prestatyn 3 2 Hut Group Llandudno Maen Achwyfan M Holyhead Benllech and St Seiriol’s Well A558 Rhyl Cross 4 e A56 4 Penrhos Feilw Standing Stones Presaddfed r Puffin Island Colwyn s e 11 5 Burial Chamber Beaumaris y 4 Bay Basingwerk M53 5 Tyˆ Mawr Standing Stone B5109 Penmon Cross Abergele A5151 A548 12 Castle Abbey 5 6 B5109 and Dovecote 6 Trefignath Burial Chamber Holy Island A5 Llangefni A55 Rhuddlan Castle A540 M56 Plas Conwy Castle Flint 9 A55 Bryn Celli Ddu and Twthill Ty Newyddˆ Burial Chamber A545 Mawr and Town Walls Castle 14 A56 Burial Chamber Bangor St Winifred’s Chapel Llanfairfechan St Asaph A55 and Holy Well 11 Barclodiad y Gawres 7 A541 A550 Burial Chamber 10 Denbigh Friary, South-west Wales itinerary: A55 A54 Lord Leicester’s Church Clwyd 7 Din Dryfol A4080 8 A470 and St Hilary’s Chapel Ewloe Castle 12 Burial Chamber Bethesda B5106 A544 A525 A51 9 Segontium Chester A49 the Wales Coast Path 8 Bodowyr A548 A549 Chester Burial Chamber Roman Fort Denbigh Castle Mold Roman Amphitheatre A5118 Chester Gwydir Uchaf and Town Walls A55 9 Castell Bryn Gwyn Llanrwst Castle Llanberis A5 Chapel A51 Caernarfon Castle A494 10 Caer Lêb Dolbadarn Capel Curig A543 A541 A41 and Town Walls Alyn A4086Castle Ruthin Dee Beeston Betws-y-Coed Castle C a e r n a r f o n Capel Garmon A534 A4085 Derwen Burial Chamber Conwy Churchyard Cross Dolwyddelan A525 B a y Wrexham A498 Castle A49 A499 A5014 A483 Beddgelert Blaenau Alwen Rug Ffestiniog Chapel Valle Crucis St Cybi’s Eliseg’s Corwen Pillar Abbey Well A525 A5 Nefyn A4212 A525 Dee Whitchurch Llangar Llangollen Penarth Fawr A497 Old Parish Church Chirk Dee B4417Medieval House Porthmadog A41 Criccieth Llyn Bala Castle Trawsfynydd A495 Pwllheli A494 A528 Harlech Bala Lake Old Oswestry A470 Castle Hill Fort A499 Oswestry Abersoch Dyffryn Ardudwy Henry de GowerBurial Chamberwas also responsible for St Davids Bishop’s Moreton Corbet Aberdaron A5 Castle Palace, the most impressive medieval bishop’s palace in Wales.

We are the first country in the world to have undertaken a country-wide urban canopy cover survey. The resulting evidence base set out in this supplementary county specific study for Bridgend County Borough will help all of us - from community tree interest groups to urban planners and decision-makers in local Emyr Roberts Diane McCrea authorities and our national government - to understand what we need to do to safeguard this powerful and versatile natural asset. Trees are an essential component of our urban ecosystems, delivering a range of services to help sustain life, promote well-being, and support economic benefits. They make our towns and cities more attractive to live in - encouraging inward investment, improving the energy efficiency of buildings – as well as removing air borne pollutants and connecting people with nature. They can also mitigate the extremes of climate change, helping to reduce storm water run-off and the urban heat island. Natural Resources Wales is committed to working with colleagues in the Welsh Government and in public, third and private sector organisations throughout Wales, to build on this work and promote a strategic approach to managing our existing urban trees, and to planting more where they will
