Throughout Summer 2023, spherical photographic sculptures will be installed at Cadw locations across the country including Tintern Abbey, Caernarfon Castle and Porthgain Harbour as part of Visit Wales’ ‘Year of Trails’ initiative.

High-definition 360-degree photography has been fabricated into nine location-specific photo spherical sculptures to make up the art installation trail. The sculptures will be reinstalled at each site where the photography was taken, allowing visitors a chance to view Wales’ most impressive heritage landmarks from a unique, spherical perspective.

To celebrate, we want you to share a picture of the relics at one of the nine locations across the country with #CadwRelicPic to be in with a chance of winning a one-year Cadw membership. Whether you choose to take a selfie, a scenery shot or opt for the self-timer, we’d love to see your pictures.

  • tag @cadwcymruwales on Instagram, @CadwWales on Facebook, or @cadwcymru / @cadwwales on Twitter
