Blog Info

I love Castles, History and Archaeology, If I could have my time again I would train to be a Archaeologist!
I am a keen artist and traveller, I seek adventure however I am also disabled and a dog owner.

So I thought it would be a neat idea to have a blog that I could share some photos of my castle hunting adventures and basic info on these sites from a disabled, dog owning artist!

Cadw Offers Disabled people and there companion Free access to there sites, If you have any problems, attitude or access on this generous offer make sure you contact Cadw so they can improve.

I have only provided basic info as there are enough sites on the net to give you this information.

This Castle Wales Site is brilliant, I have used it time and time again, even writing to the makers to compliment them

Tintern Abbey

Access  is very good indeed, carpark near enterance
Staff, On my first visit in a wheelchair, very helpful, Second visit walking, I was treated with suspicion, like I was faking to get in for free, I wrote to cadw and they said they would address there staff about this.
Semi Okay in the Wet
Dogs Welcome
Toilets at the beginning of the site
Plenty of places to sit
Plenty to Sketch and photograph, in fact totally over whelming
Very magical especially when misty
Best Bit - it's scenery and location, very romantic
