cadw is not a series of four letters but a welsh verb that means to keep or to save or to preseve and is the name of the organisation that preserves the historic buildings within wales. Their flag stands over the castle at criccieth as does the welsh flag, the oldest in europe which is a red dragon or ddraig goch on a green lower background with white upper background over.
