Cadw has undertaken a comprehensive survey of historic parks and gardens in Wales. Those thought to be of national importance have been included on the Cadw Register of Historic Parks and Gardens in Wales. The Register was compiled in order to aid the informed conservation of historic parks and gardens by owners, local planning authorities, developers, statutory bodies and all concerned with them. The Historic Environment (Wales) Act 2016 makes it a statutory duty for the Welsh Ministers, through Cadw, to compile and maintain a register of historic parks and gardens in Wales. The register is statutory from 2021 and sites can be added (or removed) at any time. There are currently almost 400 sites on the Register. The aim is to prevent damage to significant features of the sites, such as historic layout, structure, built features and planted elements. In many cases tree planting is beneficial and enhances parkland character. However, it is important that due consideration is given to the significance of the site, its historic character, layout, design, and views etc. to determine a site’s suitability for woodland creation and to inform woodland planting plans. Contact details are in GN002.
