Duration: 2 hours (approx.)

The Cardiff Dark Side Tour shows you the other side of the Welsh capital. Cardiff is a city renowned for its castle and its rugby stadium, built on the success of the Bute family and the coal exporting industry. However, it has a darker edge that one doesn't see today, one of hangings, executions, graveyards and disease, for example. Even the most innocuous locations of central Cardiff that we walk by every day may have been the location of execution or slum.

Tudor Cardiff: A Self-Guided Audio Tour in Cardiff

Long ago Tudor Cardiff faded into history, along with almost all of its buildings. Today, Cardiff is a bustling, modern city so it’s hard to believe that in the mid-1500s it was just a tiny port and market town on the River Taff. On this GPS-guided walking tour, you'll look beyond the modern buildings at the clues that tell the city’s story of fame and notoriety in the days of the powerful Tudor dynasty. As you make your way through the city centre, I’ll point out the only two remaining Tudor buildings and reveal the curious origin of some of Cardiff’s street names like Womanby, Golate and Wharton Streets. You’ll hear what life was like back in Tudor Cardiff, including how different the daily diets of the rich and poor were and how literacy meant there were different laws for the different social classes. And on your way to Bute Park, where the tour ends, you’ll pass by St John The Baptist City Parish Church’s striking tower, Gorsedd Stone Circle, and the spectacular Cardiff Castle.
