Cinematic Cardiff Tour: Dr Who and other filming locations

Landmarks for the filming of Doctor Who, Sherlock, Torchwood, Sarah Jane Adventures in Cardiff

Doctor Who Walking Tour of Cardiff City Centre Duration 1.5 hours

Cardiff is packed full of television locations, if you know where to find them. On this walking tour of central Cardiff, you’ll see multiple locations from the BBC Sci-Fi drama Doctor Who, from the ninth to the fifteenth doctor.

You’ll have the chance to enter many of these iconic locations and, with my help, be able to picture the scenes that took place here. Along the way, I’ll also point out locations from Torchwood, The Sarah-Jane Adventures, the BBC’s Sherlock, and a few more surprising television productions.

Our tour starts at the iconic Cardiff Castle, where you’ll find out just how versatile it’s been as a TV location. As you walk around the new Canal Quarter, you’ll hear about directors and CGI enhancements, along with a few film shoot stories – like why it was tricky filming a particular scene with Kylie Minogue. I’ll also share some of Cardiff’s war-time tales, its medieval history, and tell you how it grew from a small town to a massive coal exporting city.

Our tour ends at Cambrian Tap, a popular pub that you may recognise from Sherlock, where you’ll have the option to sample local food and drink, armed with the confidence to know what to ask for.

Stupenda Penarth: da Porto Industriale a Quartiere dei Milionari

Colourful Edwardian style buidings along Victorian Esplanade

1,5 ore tour a pied

Dal momento che, durante la rivoluzione industriale, a Penarth risiedevano più miliardari per kilometro quadro che in qualsiasi altra parte del mondo, tra loro si potevano contare molti tipi bizzarri. Ascoltate le loro storie passeggiando con il nostro tour lungo le strade ed i viottoli di questa graziosa cittadina vittoriana sulla riva del mare.

Partendo dalla diga di sbarramento di Cardiff Bay, vedrete edifici iconici ed importanti, ville costruite per ricchi residenti, ed ascolterete la storia della Baronessa Windsor, che fondò un porto per l’esportazione del carbone da rivaleggiare con quello di Cardiff. Cosi facendo, mise in moto una serie di eventi che vedranno la crescita di Penarth da minuscolo villaggio a prospera cittadina. E lei non fu nemmeno l’unica donna ad aver influenzato cosi profondamente la città, come vi accorgerete.
