“Gwir gestyll Cymru imi yw’r rheini a adeiladwyd gan Gymry enwog y gorffennol: Llywelyn, yr Arglwydd Rhys a Glyndŵr ymhlith eraill. Tywysogion Cymru a frwydrodd yng Nghymru a thros Gymru gan helpu i lunio’r Gymru a’r Cymreictod a welwn ni heddiw. Rwyf wedi bod yn benderfynol o hyrwyddo’r cestyll hyn a’u harwyddocâd i’n hanes a’n diwylliant yn well.
“These, to me, are the true Welsh castles - those built or inhabited by distinguished Welshmen of the past - by Llywelyn, Lord Rhys and Glyndwr amongst others. Welsh Princes who fought for and over Wales and helped shape the Wales and Welshness we recognise today. I’ve been determined to better promote and signpost these castles and their significance to our history and culture.
