Cadw is a Welsh word meaning ‘to keep’ or ‘to protect’. And that’s exactly what we do. We are working for an accessible and well-protected historic environment for Wales.

Cadw is the Welsh Government’s historic environment service.
Working in Cadw provides an opportunity to play your part in looking after the historic environment of Wales.
Many of Cadw’s projects and programmes contribute to our understanding of Wales’s past.
These are some of the groups that we are working with to protect and promote the historic environment.
As part of our work to conserve and preserve the built heritage of Wales, Cadw needs to purchase a range of works, services and goods.
