The Dark Cardiff Guided Walking Tour

Walk through the darker edges of Cardiff, the capital city of Wales, on this two hour guided walking tour of old Cardiff. Hear the twisted tales, from slums to graveyards, ghosts to pirates, and prisons to disease, across a thousand years of local history. Discover a time when danger lurked behind every corner. This tour focuses on the lesser talked about aspects of Cardiff and Welsh history. Behind the Roman origins, Tudor markets and industrial-age glory lie tales of disease, executions, ghosts and sea-monsters. Cardiff may be a young capital city but it is still steeped in legend with a dark and sinister underbelly, a place where pirates roamed freely, normal people faced ritual humiliation and even the smallest crime may have been met with execution. This tour if fully confined to what one may call 'Old Cardiff' or the Castle Quarter, starting and finishing in very central locations, in amongst the bars, restaurants and evening activity of Cardiff city centre.
