The TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence is awarded to venues who consistently receive positive traveller views on the TripAdvisor website.

The Visitor Centre – Caerphilly has experienced its busiest year to date since opening in 1995.

Cllr Ken James, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Planning and Sustainable Development said: “I am thrilled that Llancaiach Fawr Manor, Winding House Museum, Cwmcarn Forest and the Visit Caerphilly Centre have all received the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence. This is testament to the fantastic service that is delivered throughout each venue by both staff and volunteers”. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
