Additional Information

Embark on this self-guided audio expedition along the forgotten, albeit historically significant, trails obscured behind Llandaff Cathedral. Remote and enigmatic, and far removed from contemporary urban Cardiff, these pathways are steeped in mystique, ambiance, folklore and tales of the paranormal. In certain spots, these trails were once vital Celtic trade routes or medieval passageways.

They abound with eerie and at times unsettling stories of poltergeists and specters, events that continue to be observed and documented in this day and age. Occasionally, the ambiance can grow odd, overpowering, or even threatening, especially under the shadowy solitude of the night!

This expedition charts a roundabout course, steering you through a spooky and nebulous forest lane, the site of numerous paranormal experiences, before tracing the riverside where more spectral anecdotes and myths are narrated. The path then circles back towards the Cathedral for more stories, and culminates in the deserted, overgrown woodland cemetery, renowned for its piercing ambiance and spectral narratives.

Spooky and thought provoking - This was an incredibly reasonable and interesting tour. We went on Halloween night for a bit of spooky fun and the app was excellent and guided us without having to be on our phones. We found it moving, as well as frightening. James is brilliant and we feel like he was by our side as we went along! Would love to do an in person tour with him! Thank you James!

History of Wales walking holiday. - We stayed at Cardiff Bay, we liked the docks, places to shop and the restaurants. We went to Llandaff Cathedral, spotless, it had an organ concert. We went to Barry island... Sand, glorious sand and sea. We went to a medieval village and compared the houses to the BC 60 one. Nothing had changed in over a thousand years. St Fagans was superb. Quite a lot of walking on the holiday but great fun.

Engaging and Atmospheric - My daughter and I had a fun afternoon exploring Llandaff and learning about the ghosts. The speaker of the audio tour was engaging and his personal stories added to the experience. Of course, it would have been even spookier after dark; but the path through the woods and the graveyard would be spooky enough for us any time of day!

Fantastic - This tour was absolutely fantastic, the voice narrator was great, the sound effects felt realistic to me but that may differ depending what earphones you have. The narrator makes it feel like he is there with you, he describes where you are stood so well it feels like he’s there with you. There were every scenic views, there was also some nice photos you could of taken just outside the cathedral too.

Great quick self-guided audio tour - We thought the Ghosts of Llandaff audio tour was great! We were staying nearby and were looking for something different to do and wanted to explore the Llandaff Cathedral (the Cathedral itself is not part of the audio tour). We confused ourselves a couple times with directions but ultimately got back on the right track and thoroughly enjoyed the self-guided tour. Great idea and nicely inexpensive for a quick afternoon's entertainment. We did our tour in the daytime but we can see where it would be even better at dusk or twilight. The Cathedral is impressive as well and deserves some time to go through it and learn about it's long and varied history. Visitng the Cathedral is free.

Atmospheric Old Llandaff - A truly atmospheric and at times very creepy experience. Llandaff village is beautiful and you really feel the history. The old Llandaff graveyard is worth a visit just by itself.

Not one for rainy weather - This tour might have been more enjoyable had we not had a lot of rain, making the footpaths very muddy and in places unpassable safely. Because of a couple of slopes (muddy and leafy) the tour was not suitable for our disabled friend who uses a stick. We are also not easily scared so did not feel at all spooked. The narrator was good however but this tour is definitely one for the more easily scared and to use later in the night but after a good few days of dry weather.
