Overview

  • Cardiff wears its whole storey in stone, and this self-guided walking tour traces it on foot through the heart of the Welsh capital. You start among the Portland stone domes of Cathays Park, pass Cardiff Castle where a Roman fort sits beneath a Victorian Gothic fantasy, follow the Animal Wall along Bute Park, slip through the glass-roofed arcades that made Cardiff the City of Arcades, and finish at the covered market and the stadium wedged into the old street grid.

    Everything runs from your smartphone, with no app to download. Each of the 9 stops comes with a short audio storey and an interactive quiz, plus a clear map and step-by-step directions. There is no guide to follow and no group to keep up with: start whenever you like, pause for a coffee, take a detour, and pick the route back up when you are ready. Audio and written text are available in 7 languages.
