The Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales
Starting in 1992, Cadw has undertaken a comprehensive survey of historic parks and gardens in Wales. Parks and gardens thought to be of national importance have been included on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales. The Register was compiled in order to aid the informed conservation of historic parks and gardens by owners, local planning authorities, developers, statutory bodies and all concerned with them. However, the listings in the Register are non-statutory. The Register has been issued in six volumes, covering former county council areas and unitary authorities. It was completed in 2002 but this is not a closed list: sites can be added or taken out at any time. Currently there are 372 sites on the Register.
