Private Tour: The Darker History Of Cardiff Walking Tour

Join a professionally guided walking tour through the heart of Cardiff led by a Wales Official Tourist Guide, where history, hauntings, and dark deeds come to life. Over the course of two hours and two miles, you’ll uncover the city’s most iconic landmarks alongside lesser-known corners notorious for eerie happenings, chilling crimes, and tragic injustices. This immersive experience will leave you with a strong mental map of the city centre, along with unsettling tales of murder, restless spirits, and the wrongfully executed — stories that may just linger in your thoughts long after the tour ends.

Starting outside the grand entrance of Cardiff Castle and finishing just opposite at The Rummer — the city’s most haunted pub — this walk promises both history and horror in equal measure. Your guide, a qualified Wales Official Tourist Guide, has a deep interest in the macabre side of local history and a passion for storytelling that brings Cardiff’s darker past vividly to life. For those arriving early, the nearby Palette café is recommended for coffee and indulgent cakes before stepping into the shadows of the city’s haunted heritage.
