Cadw gives visitors access to Dovecote

A 13th century grade I-listed Barry building will be open to the public as part of a Cadw Open Doors scheme.

Visitors can see the Dovecote within a site that was once a castellated manor house which now has a grade II-listed rectory.

Visitors can access the site and the Dovecote and hear about the history of the site and some of the previous owners.

Booking required for visits from 11.00am to 4.00pm on Sunday 12th September.

There will be groups of 15 people, each hour from 11.00am until the last start at 3.00pm.

Call 07831 339389 on any weekday the week before 12th September, from 5.00pm to 8.00pm, to book a place.

Mount Pleasant is usually accessed from the east end of Court Road – the turning off the roundabout, just to the south of the Practice of Health, not the Court Road turning. No. 4 Mount Pleasant is directly in front of you, with access through two large pillars. Park on the road as part of the tour refers to the area where cars would otherwise be parked.

Wheelchair access to the Dovecote may be difficult, due to the narrow entrance.
