Cadw has today announced the completion of a 3\-year conservation and development project at Caernarfon Castle’s principal gatehouse, providing access to areas of the castle not seen close\-up for centuries.


This major £5 million investment has seen a rooftop deck installation and new flooring in the gatehouse towers. It also includes the installation of a lift that allows access for all to the upper levels, which we believe is a first for any similar UK World Heritage site. The project will ensure that the castle is welcoming and accessible and continues to make a valuable contribution to the economy of the surrounding area. A new catering offer, educational and retail spaces, and accessible visitor facilities have also been included in the works, including a Changing Places facility. The scheme is supported by the Welsh Government and by £1\.04 million from the European Regional Development Fund through the Tourism Attractor Destination Programme, that is managed by Visit Wales. 


Central to the enhancement project is new artistic interpretation, focusing on the theme: ‘the hands that built the Castle’. This modern approach to interpretation aims to present the story of the Castle from a different perspective, encouraging visitors to re\-think how they perceive the site’s history. The delivery of the project, has been supported by Buttress Architects and Grosvenor Construction, who have re\-installed the floor levels of the gatehouse towers; built new steps from the first floor to the new rooftop deck; and installed a lightweight glazed glass lift to provide step\-free access to the rooftop.


Following such extensive development, Cadw is now encouraging visitors of all ages and abilities to witness the outstanding views from the upper embattlements on the rooftop deck, previously unseen for centuries.


Dawn Bowden MS, Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, said:



> Making our historic sites more accessible is a fantastic, and necessary, way of caring for Wales’ historical monuments for the benefit of present and future generations.
> 
> 
> “Enhancement projects like this one ensures that everybody can access Welsh history and learn more about the nation’s heritage. Cadw’s new interpretation will further support this, inviting visitors to discover the lesser\-known stories of the Castle’s history.
> 
> 
> “This is the latest development in Caernarfon as the town has also benefitted from an extensive and ongoing development programme of investment to further enhance its status as an iconic and “must see” destination in Wales.”


Gwilym Hughes, Head of Cadw, said:



> We’d like to thank our valued visitors and Cadw members for their patience during this 3\-year period of conservation and development at Caernarfon Castle. We look forward to welcoming visitors of all abilities to experience this area of the fortress for the first time in centuries, and hope that our new interpretation will provide new ways for visitors to understand the Castle’s story.
> 
> 
> “The hands that built the Castle’ interpretation will encourage visitors to do just that, by focusing on the community and workers of the Castle, whose stories are often footnotes rather than the focus of historical interpretation. This new interpretation will demonstrate the skill and knowledge that went into building the castle that is now a World Heritage Site. It also provides a context that will allow a fuller understanding of a time of intense conflict between the indigenous Welsh princes and the English monarchy.”

Heddiw, cyhoeddodd Cadw fod prosiect cadwraeth a datblygu 3 blynedd o hyd ym Mhrif Borthdy Castell Caernarfon wedi’i gwblhau, gan roi mynediad i rannau o’r castell nas gwelwyd yn agos ers canrifoedd.


Mae’r buddsoddiad mawr hwn, gwerth £5 miliwn, yn cynnwys gosod dec ar y to a lloriau newydd yn nhyrau’r porthdy. Mae lifft wedi’i osod hefyd sy’n caniatáu mynediad i bawb i’r lefelau uchaf, y tro cyntaf, yn ein tyb ni, ar gyfer unrhyw safle Treftadaeth y Byd tebyg yn y DU. Bydd y prosiect yn sicrhau bod y castell yn groesawgar ac yn hygyrch ac yn parhau i wneud cyfraniad gwerthfawr i economi’r ardal leol. Mae cynnig arlwyo newydd, mannau addysgol a manwerthu, a chyfleusterau hygyrch i ymwelwyr hefyd wedi’u cynnwys yn y gwaith, gan gynnwys cyfleuster Llefydd Newid. Cefnogir y cynllun gan Lywodraeth Cymru a gan £1\.04 miliwn o Gronfa Datblygu Rhanbarthol Ewrop drwy'r Rhaglen Cyrchfan Denu Twristiaeth, a reolir gan Croeso Cymru. 


Yn ganolog i’r prosiect gwella mae dehongliad artistig newydd, sy’n canolbwyntio ar y thema: ‘y dwylo a adeiladodd y Castell’. Nod y dull modern hwn o ddehongli yw cyflwyno stori’r Castell o safbwynt gwahanol, gan annog ymwelwyr i ailfeddwl sut maen nhw’n gweld hanes y safle. Cefnogwyd y gwaith o gyflwyno’r prosiect gan Buttress Architects a Grosvenor Construction, a ailosododd lefelau llawr tyrau’r porthdy, yn ogystal ag adeiladu stepiau newydd o’r llawr cyntaf i’r dec ar y to, a gosod gwydr ysgafn clir i ddarparu mynediad heb stepiau i’r to.


Yn dilyn datblygiad mor helaeth, mae Cadw bellach yn annog ymwelwyr o bob oed a gallu i ddod i weld y golygfeydd eithriadol o’r murfylchau uchaf ar ddec y to nas gwelwyd o’r blaen ers canrifoedd.


Dywedodd Dawn Bowden AS, Dirprwy Weinidog y Celfyddydau a Chwaraeon:



> “Mae gwneud ein safleoedd hanesyddol yn fwy hygyrch yn ffordd wych, ac angenrheidiol, o ofalu am henebion hanesyddol Cymru er budd cenedlaethau’r presennol a’r dyfodol.
> 
> 
> “Mae prosiectau gwella fel yr un yma yn sicrhau bod pawb yn gallu cael mynediad at hanes Cymru a dysgu mwy am dreftadaeth y genedl. Bydd dehongliad newydd Cadw yn cefnogi hyn ymhellach, gan wahodd ymwelwyr i ddarganfod straeon llai adnabyddus o hanes y Castell.
> 
> 
> “Dyma'r datblygiad diweddaraf yng Nghaernarfon ac y mae’r dref hefyd wedi elwa o raglen ddatblygu helaeth a pharhaus i wella ei statws ymhellach fel cyrchfan eiconig yng Nghymru."


Dywedodd Gwilym Hughes, Pennaeth Cadw:



> Hoffem ddiolch i’n hymwelwyr ac aelodau gwerthfawr Cadw am eu hamynedd yn ystod y tair blynedd o waith cadwraeth a datblygu yng Nghastell Caernarfon. Edrychwn ymlaen at groesawu ymwelwyr o bob gallu i brofi’r rhan hon o’r castell am y tro cyntaf ers canrifoedd, a gobeithiwn y bydd ein dehongliad newydd yn cynnig ffyrdd newydd i ymwelwyr ddeall stori’r Castell.
> 
> 
> “Bydd dehongliad y dwylo a adeiladodd y Castell yn annog ymwelwyr i wneud yr union beth hwnnw, gan ganolbwyntio ar y gymuned a’r gweithwyr a fu’n byw yn y Castell. Mae eu straeon nhw yn aml yn droednodiadau yn hytrach na phrif ganolbwynt dehongliad hanesyddol. Bydd y dehongliad newydd hwn yn dangos y sgil a’r wybodaeth a ddefnyddiwyd i adeiladu’r castell sydd bellach yn Safle Treftadaeth y Byd. Mae hefyd yn cynnig cyd\-destun a fydd yn rhoi dealltwriaeth lawnach o’r gwrthdaro dwys a fu rhwng y tywysogion Cymreig brodorol a brenhinoedd Lloegr.”
