Swansea stands as the second largest city in Wales, carrying a rich and diverse history with it. The city, founded by the Normans, took its name from Norse roots. After enduring the Middle Ages, Swansea rose to prominence in the 1700s as the leading town in Wales, thanks to the flourishing copper trade. As the industrial revolution unfolded, it shaped the current landscape of Swansea, though the city had its share of struggles with the fall of heavy industry and the aftermath of World War 2. This two-hour tour takes you through the city’s transformation from the Viking era, the copper trade, the advent of railroads, to the time of renowned writer Dylan Thomas.
