Woodland Opportunity Map - Registered Historic Parks & Gardens
Welsh Government
Historic parks and gardens are part of Wales’s national identity. They enrich the texture and pattern of our landscapes and form a valuable record of social, cultural and economic change. Many offer outstanding conservation value for wildlife as well as opportunities for public recreation. As a source of enjoyment and learning, and a valuable network of green spaces, our historic parks and gardens play an important role in building a healthier and greener Wales.
Historic parks and gardens are a fragile and finite resource that can be easily damaged or lost. It is important to raise awareness of their significance and to encourage those involved in their management to treat them as valuable and distinctive places. Through their care and commitment to safeguarding these precious assets, we will all be able to enjoy these historic parks and gardens of special historic interest now and in the future.
Registration identifies sites which are of special historic interest to 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. Sites on the statutory Register continue to be a material consideration in the development control process.
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.
