About the network

welsh-castles.forts.im is part of the ReallyByte network, run by REALLYBYTE, based in the Isle of Man. General information, checked against the sources listed: Cadw (Welsh Government), the UNESCO World Heritage Centre and GOV.UK. Things that can change, like opening times and entry, are marked with the date we checked them (31 Oct 2026), and where sources disagree we show both. Always check opening times, access and conditions with the site before you go. Not affiliated with Cadw, the Welsh Government, UNESCO, the UK government or any museum. Their names, and the names of the castles Cadw looks after, are used only to identify the places and sources discussed. All pictures are our own simplified drawings: not reconstructions, not scale plans, and not copied from any site plan, guidebook or photograph.
