Audio tour of Doctor Who and other film locations in Cardiff

Cardiff is packed with television locations, if you know where to find them. This self-guided audio tour of central Cardiff reveals them all.

Starting at Cardiff Castle, you'll discover just how many productions have used the city as their backdrop. You'll walk through the Canal Quarter, explore the arcades, visit the National Museum, and end at a pub you may well recognise from the screen.

Along the way you'll also hear Cardiff's wider story. Its medieval past, its wartime history, and how a small town on the Taff became one of the world's great coal-exporting cities.

Your guide is a licensed tourist guide and founder of her own Wales-based tour company. She combines history, humour, and storytelling to bring every location to life, weaving in the unexpected details that make a place truly memorable.

The tour uses GPS technology to trigger commentary automatically as you walk. No tapping or scrolling needed. Download it in advance and it works fully offline, so you can explore without worrying about signal.

You move at your own pace. Step inside the locations, picture the scenes, and take your time. By the end, you'll have seen Cardiff's finest central landmarks and uncovered the stories behind them.
