FOUR historic sites in Wales, including one in Gwent, will accept the euro on a trial basis this summer, Welsh Assembly culture minister Alun Pugh was to announce today. The pilot project will take effect immediately at Caernarfon, Conwy and Caerphilly castles, and in Tintern (pictured).
Mr Pugh said: "The decision to accept the euro will benefit many tourists from other parts of Europe who will be visiting the wide variety of attractions on offer in Wales.
"Accepting the mainstream currency of the European Union is a logical response to the pattern of visitors."
