What to expect
This self-guided audio tour is your chance to explore what is widely regarded as one of the finest collections of public buildings in Britain, strikingly presented with domes, towers, columns, and statues, and elegantly laid out amid peaceful ornamental gardens and tree-lined avenues.This tour is an escape from the hustle and bustle of Cardiff City Centre to the peace and tranquillity of this parkland oasis, and a journey back in time to hear and see the story of a momentous period in Cardiff's history. The parkland, its statues, and its buildings send powerful messages of a new city eager to stamp its place in the world, while rediscovering Welsh national identity and pride for the first time in generations.Your guide is James Cowan, a Cardiff-raised historian who spent years leading walking tours through the city's streets before turning his passion for history and storytelling into audio experiences. He has scripted and presented television series on Cardiff's past, and his commentary is meticulously researched and spoken with genuine passion.
