🏰 Exciting times at Cyfarthfa Castle and Park! Major improvements are underway to protect and enhance one of Merthyr Tydfil’s most treasured landmarks. The gorgeous Cyfarthfa Castle is being fitted with new roof repairs and upgraded drainage systems to keep it looking splendid for generations to come. 🛠️
While these essential works are underway, both the park and the museum remain open for visitors! Don’t miss the “Celebration of Welsh Contemporary Painting 2026” exhibition at the museum, running until August 30th. 🎨
Funded by Cadw, the local council, the Welsh Government, and The Cyfarthfa Foundation, these projects aren’t just about maintenance—they’re about setting a strong future for the entire site! By acting now, they’re preventing future deterioration and making sure this iconic spot stays rock-solid. 💪
The upgrades aren’t just for the building. The park has been spruced up with new signs, picnic benches, and bins, while the museum and art gallery have seen improvements to the toilets, reception area, shop, café, WiFi, and CCTV. There’s even a brand-new cinema display! 🎥
These enhancements aim to boost the visitor experience, increasing accessibility and keeping Cyfarthfa Park as a top-notch destination for both locals and tourists. The council and the Foundation are on the lookout for even more opportunities to keep building on this progress. 📈
Keep watching this space for more updates as these revitalisation efforts continue. Whether you’re planning a picnic or delving into some art and history, Cyfarthfa Castle and Park welcomes you to explore and enjoy! 🌳✨
