“Fel rhan o'r gwaith hwn, rwyf wedi ymweld â pharciau rhanbarthol eraill ar draws Ewrop, ac mae gan y Safleoedd Darganfod a gyhoeddwyd heddiw lawer iawn i'w gynnig i ymwelwyr. O’r beicio mynydd gwych sydd ar gael yn Fforest Cwmcarn i hanes diwydiannol Blaenafon a holl fawredd Castell Caerffili, mae cymaint i'w gynnig. Gyda'r buddsoddiad hwn byddwn yn gweithio i wneud y safleoedd hyn yn enwog yn fyd-eang, tra'n gwneud mwy i ddenu pobl leol i'r dirwedd a'r dreftadaeth sydd ar garreg eu drws.”
“As part of this work I have visited other regional parks across Europe, and the Discovery Sites announced today have a great deal to offer visitors.  From the fantastic mountain biking on offer in Cwmcarn Forest, to the industrial history of Blaenavon and the pageantry of Caerphilly Castle, there is so much to offer. With this investment we will work to make these sites world-renowned, while doing more to attract people locally to the landscapes and heritage on their doorstep. I intent to announce further sites in the coming weeks.”
