Cardigan Castle in Cardigan, south west Wales is currently undergoing a multi-million pound restoration. The new development is designed to open up Cardigan Castle for local community use and the Grade II-listed Regency gardens and walled kitchen garden will form a central feature after restoration.
Cardigan Castle will also include four-star bed and breakfast accommodation overlooking the River Teifi plus a fine-dining restaurant which will also overlook the river. New conference rooms, fully equipped with high-tech audio-visual technology, will be opening in the Castle Green House. The facility will be available for corporate use and for training weekends.
Whilst the 900-year-old Cardigan Castle is historically important as the site of the first-ever Eisteddfod, it has for years stood crumbling at the riverside gateway to the town centre. The current renovation is being supported by Heritage Lottery Fund and the Welsh European Funding Office.
