SATURDAY 12TH MARCH - BBC RADIO WALES "GOOD MORNING WALES" Llandaff: the ancient city within the modern city of Cardiff. Its narrow streets, pubs, and crumbling ruins create the atmosphere of a sleepy forgotten village, dominated by an ancient Cathedral, and one of Britain’s oldest Christian sites, near the banks of the river Taff. However, behind the peace and quiet of Llandaff lies a turbulent past of war, plunder, disaster, and tragedy. Little wonder then that this tiny hamlet is teeming with stories, legends, and hauntings, ancient and modern. This is a ghost walk with a difference - you are in a city but can enjoy a mystical rural atmosphere, a Cardiff ghost tour in an ancient village setting - just a 15 minute bus ride from Cardiff City Centre. Mysterious, sad and terrifying tales await: a mournful white lady, seen for generations near the river and in the woodlands; a sinister, hooded and faceless man in black who watches, and follows visitors; a hideously ugly witch-like demon, a portent of death, haunting the lanes and woodlands; curious ghostly children, seen, heard and felt throughout the route. All these and many more tales, ancient and modern, await! In case it all gets too much, end the evening with spirits of a different kind, in one of Llandaff’s many pubs!

Bring a torch (if you don't have one let us know). £5 deposit for torches borrowed. Payment fully refunded on return of torch. Children The Llandaff Ghost Walk is a genuinely eerie 2 hour walk exploring the supernatural history of this ancient site. Some of the stories have sinister undertones. For that reason it is not suitable for children, and certainly no one under 12 years old. If you are uncertain or in doubt please get in touch to discuss. 12-16 year olds must be accompanied by an appropriate number of adults (ie parent or legal guardian). Youth groups (eg scouts/guides/community youth groups) are welcome to book for private tours, for which the tone, choice and content of the stories is selected in discussion with group leaders so as to be appropriate to the age group, and significant discounted rates are on offer, on condition that they have an appropriate number of adult leaders. However, in the best interests of all they cannot be included on public scheduled tours without first speaking to and agreeing with Cardiff History and Hauntings. Getting There By Car
