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

Nevern Castle *Free Site*

Parking is on the road and then a uneven trek to the site
There isn't much to see at this site but its tranquil and ideal for a picnic
un staffed
Dogs welcome
There are a couple of picnic benches at the site
Best Bit -  The dramatic setting of the castle site, make sure you see the pilgrim stone and the church while in Nevern
