Brilliant Basics is a capital fund to deliver small\-scale tourism infrastructure improvements across Wales and is open to local authorities and national park authorities.


Previous projects funded by Brilliant Basics have included electric vehicle charging points, improved toilet and car parking facilities, accessible changing places facilities and improved signage and interpretation panels.


Brilliant Basics will also support projects that improve accessibility at sites and those  that make their destinations more environmentally sustainable.


2023 is Wales’ Year of Trails which presents the tourism sector with an opportunity to showcase attractions, landscapes and coastline through routes and trails. Brilliant Basics will encourage local authorities and national parks to consider the entire visitor experience and the essential infrastructure that makes a trail experience complete, from pathways, to parking to making facilities accessible for all.     


On her first visit since assuming responsibility for Tourism policy within the Welsh Government, the Deputy Minister, Dawn Bowden visited Cosmeston Country Park which has previously received Brilliant Basics funding. The Vale of Glamorgan received £122,124 during the first round of Brilliant Basics 2021 to 2022 to develop the Visitor Gateway project which improved access and pathways to Cosmeston Lake and jetty, including adding seating and shelter, new road access and entrance and resurfacing the jetty and slipway.


The Welsh Government’s Brilliant Basics project was the catalyst for further on site improvements from the Vale of Glamorgan including a new play area, site for concessions, round house and learning facilities, and new branding, interpretation and signage throughout.


Since project completion the park has experienced an increase in visitor numbers and its new additions have proven very popular with visitors.


Deputy Minister, Dawn Bowden said:



> “The projects supported through the Brilliant Basics fund make a real difference. For this funding round, we’re seeking proposals that add value to the visitor experience and that help to build a quality destination.
> 
> 
> “Local tourism amenities have a big part to play in making a trip a memorable one. These facilities often go unnoticed, but they are an important part of a visitor’s experience and  also benefit those who live in the area.”


Leader of the Vale of Glamorgan Council, Cllr Lis Burnett said:



> “The Council is very proud of its country parks, which offer residents and visitors the opportunity to enjoy a large and varied outdoor space.
> 
> 
> “There are range of features to enjoy at Cosmeston, including diverse wildlife and open spaces, picnic areas and a brand new play area.  
> 
> 
> “This funding has allowed us to improve the park further through the Visitor Gateway Project. That has seen access routes upgraded and new facilities added or refurbished throughout the site.”


The closing date for expressions of interest is the 16 March. Further information available on Finance: Business Wales.

Mae Y Pethau Pwysig yn gronfa gyfalaf i gyflawni gwelliannau seilwaith twristiaeth ar raddfa fach ar draws Cymru ac yn agored i awdurdodau lleol ac awdurdodau’r parciau cenedlaethol.


Mae prosiectau blaenorol a ariannwyd gan Y Pethau Pwysig wedi cynnwys pwyntiau gwefru cerbydau trydan, gwell cyfleusterau toiledau ac i geir, cyfleusterau Changing Places hygyrch a gwell arwyddion a phaneli dehongli.


Bydd Y Pethau Pwysig hefyd yn cefnogi prosiectau sy'n gwella hygyrchedd mewn safleoedd a'r rhai sy'n gwneud eu cyrchfannau'n fwy amgylcheddol gynaliadwy.


2023 yw Blwyddyn Llwybrau Cymru sy'n rhoi cyfle i'r sector twristiaeth arddangos atyniadau, tirweddau ac arfordir drwy ffyrdd a llwybrau. Bydd Y Pethau Pwysig yn annog Awdurdodau Lleol a Pharciau Cenedlaethol i ystyried y profiad cyfan i ymwelwyr a'r seilwaith hanfodol sy'n gwneud profiad llwybr yn gyflawn, o lwybrau, i barcio i sicrhau bod cyfleusterau'n hygyrch i bawb.     


Ar ei hymweliad cyntaf ers cymryd cyfrifoldeb am bolisi Twristiaeth o fewn Llywodraeth Cymru, ymwelodd y Dirprwy Weinidog, Dawn Bowden â Pharc Gwledig Cosmeston sydd wedi derbyn cyllid Y Pethau Pwysig yn y gorffennol.  Derbyniodd Bro Morgannwg £122,124 yn ystod y rownd gyntaf Y Pethau Pwysig 2021 i 2022 i ddatblygu'r prosiect Porth Ymwelwyr sy'n gwella mynediad a llwybrau at Lyn Cosmeston a’r lanfa, gan gynnwys ychwanegu seddi a lloches, mynediad newydd i'r ffordd a mynedfa ac ailgodi'r lanfa a'r llithrfa.


Prosiect Y Pethau Pwysig Llywodraeth Cymru oedd y catalydd i wella mwy ar y safle ym Mro Morgannwg gan gynnwys ardal chwarae newydd, safle ar gyfer stondinau, tŷ crwn a chyfleusterau dysgu, a brandio, dehongli ac arwyddion newydd drwyddi draw.


Ers cwblhau'r prosiect mae'r parc wedi gweld cynnydd yn nifer yr ymwelwyr ac mae ei ychwanegiadau newydd wedi profi'n boblogaidd iawn gydag ymwelwyr.


Dywedodd y Dirprwy Weinidog, Dawn Bowden:



> "Mae'r prosiectau a gefnogir trwy'r gronfa Y Pethau Pwysig yn gwneud gwahaniaeth go iawn. Ar gyfer y rownd ariannu hon, rydym yn chwilio am gynigion sy'n ychwanegu gwerth at brofiad yr ymwelwyr ac sy'n helpu i adeiladu cyrchfan o ansawdd.
> 
> 
> "Mae gan amwynderau twristiaeth lleol ran fawr i'w chwarae wrth wneud taith yn un cofiadwy. Yn aml iawn, nid pobl yn sylwi ar y cyfleusterau hyn, ond mae nhw'n rhan bwysig o brofiad ymwelwyr a hefyd o fudd i'r rhai sy'n byw yn yr ardal."


Dywedodd y Cynghorydd Lis Burnett, Arweinydd Cyngor Bro Morgannwg:



> "Mae'r Cyngor yn falch iawn o'i barciau gwledig, sy'n cynnig cyfle i drigolion ac ymwelwyr fwynhau gofod awyr agored mawr ac amrywiol.
> 
> 
> "Mae amrywiaeth o nodweddion i'w mwynhau yn Cosmeston, gan gynnwys bywyd gwyllt a mannau agored amrywiol, ardaloedd picnic ac ardal chwarae newydd sbon. 
> 
> 
> "Mae'r arian yma wedi ein galluogi i wella'r parc ymhellach drwy'r Prosiect Porth Ymwelwyr. Mae hynny wedi gweld llwybrau mynediad yn cael eu huwchraddio a chyfleusterau newydd yn cael eu hychwanegu neu eu hadnewyddu ar hyd a lled y safle."
