Wales
From our coastlines and castles to our landscapes, literature and one of the oldest spoken languages in Europe, Wales has an ancient and mythical heritage. It’s the land of rolling hillsides, historic ruins and an industrial heritage that once saw Welsh slate and coal being exported across the world.
We’re proud to play a role in protecting and celebrating the nation's vibrant cities, beautiful landscapes, historic sites and diverse cultures. It’s part of our vision for heritage to be valued, cared for and sustained for everyone, now and in the future.
