Information about this winner

Cadw is the historic environment division of the Welsh Assembly Government working for an accessible well protected historic environment for Wales.  Cadw’s objectives are to achieve a demonstrable improvement in the protection and condition of the historic environment, along with sustainable conservation and increased levels of public access to, participation in and appreciation of the historic environment of Wales. Cadw does this by systems of protection, grant giving, conservation schemes and promoting the 127 monuments in the care of the Assembly Government.  Cadw was established as an executive agency of the former Welsh Office in 1984 and this year celebrates its 25th anniversary. In recognition of this, Cadw is sponsoring an award which marks the best restoration projects in Wales over the past 25 years.  Cadw yw adran amgylchedd hanesyddol Llywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru. Mae’n gweithio dros amgylchedd hanesyddol yng Nghymru sy’n hygyrch ac yn ddiogel.  Amcanion Cadw yw sicrhau gwelliant eglur yng ngwarchodaeth a chyflwr yr amgylchedd hanesyddol, ynghyd รข chadwraeth gynaliadwy a mwy o gyfle i’r cyhoedd gyrchu amgylchedd hanesyddol Cymru, cymryd rhan ynddo a’i werthfawrogi. Mae Cadw yn gwneud hyn drwy systemau diogelu, rhoi grantiau, cynlluniau cadwraeth a hybu’r 127 o henebion sydd yng ngofal Llywodraeth y Cynulliad.  Cafodd Cadw ei sefydlu fel asiantaeth weithredol yn yr hen Swyddfa Gymreig ym 1984 ac eleni mae’n dathlu ei ben-blwydd yn 25 oed. I gydnabod hyn, mae Cadw yn noddi gwobr sy’n nodi’r prosiect adfer gorau yng Nghymru dros y 25 mlynedd diwethaf.
