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.

A beautiful, surprising and educating tour of a city I have visited and stayed in many times over the years. James captures your attention with the sounds and descriptions of Tudor life, from the rich to the poor. I could truly picture how different Cardiff is now to how it was then. Thank you a wonderful morning sent in Tudor Cardiff.
Great

Great, easy listening experience. I did get a bit turned around in the Bute park area because I assumed we’d be walking along the pathways but if you walk over the grass, you should be fine.

I'd never heard of such audio tours but was looking for things to do in Cardiff whilst I had some free time, and this popped up. I took the plunge and it was so easy to follow. And so much fun! Alongside the narration there was often Tudor music and sound effects (what it would have sounded like in Tudor times, where I was stood) which made it even better as I felt immersed in the atmosphere and could then really take in the facts and descriptions. Walking through the park whilst the Friars were chanting was a beautiful moment, and I loved learning about some of the different parts of the castle & its links to Tudors. I think this may become a bit of an obsession - that evening I made a list of audio tours to do next - they're everywhere! I hope they're as good as this one 😁
A must do!
