Those heading to visit a Cadw site can benefit from the 2-for-1 offer by showing a Transport for Wales train ticket from a journey which is taking place on the same day.

The offer is available for Cadw sites which charge visitors an entry fee and must be used on the same day that visitors purchase an entry ticket.

The Transport for Wales ticket must also be valid for the nearest station which serves the attraction being visited.

The offer is available at historic locations which are maintained by Cadw throughout Wales and include world-renowned castles at Caernarfon, Conwy and Caerphilly, most of which can be easily accessed by train. The offer will also support Transport for Wales’ recent initiative ‘Wales on Rails’ which promotes sustainable tourism by encouraging members of the public to travel using the national rail network, heritage railways and buses.

James Price, Transport for Wales Chief Executive, said: “Wales has so many incredible places to visit and this offer is a perfect way to save money, while also travelling sustainably using public transport.

“We’re delighted to be working with Cadw on this scheme and hope to see many people taking up the offer over the next year.”

Gwilym Hughes, Head of Cadw, said: “As the Welsh Government’s historic environment service, Cadw is committed to the sustainability of Wales’s historical landscape, for the benefit of future generations.

“Naturally, this commitment goes hand in hand with Wales’s wider sustainability targets — so we couldn’t be happier to be supporting Transport for Wales with this green tourism initiative.

“We hope that the offer will enable Welsh residents and visitors alike to choose a greener, public travel option when visiting our outstanding historic sites — this summer and beyond.”
