HARLECH Castle’s new visitor centre has been shortlisted for two awards.

The castle visitor centre (seen below) ihas been shortlisted in the commercial and tourism categories in the 2017 RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) Awards, Wales.

Some of Wales’ most innovative and community-beneficial property projects have been shortlisted for the industry accolades and will compete for six categories as well as the overall Project of the Year award.

The project consisted of acquiring the existing Harlech Castle Hotel – a former three-storey Victorian hotel – and converting it to accommodate five high-quality apartments, a new visitor area with interpretation, café, shop, staff offices and a bridge.

Category winners will go on to compete against other regional winners at the national RICS Awards grand final in November 2017, for the chance to be crowned the overall UK winner in the respective categories.

The 2017 RICS Awards, Wales take place on 27 April.
