This self guided audio tour is your chance to explore what is widely regarded as one of the finest collections of public buildings in the whole of Britain, strikingly presented with domes, towers, columns, and statues, and elegantly laid out amidst peaceful ornamental gardens and tree lined avenues. This tour is an escape from the hustle and bustle of Cardiff City Centre to the peace and tranquility of this parkland oasis, and a journey back in time to hear and see the story of a momentous period in Cardiff’s history. The parkland, its statues, and its buildings send powerful messages of a new city eager to stamp its place in the world, while rediscovering Welsh national identity and pride for the first time in generations.

Easy to use app, informative commentary. Can't beat the quality for the price. Recommend for solo travelers or people who have limited time in the city.

This was a very good way to spending an hour on a sunny Sunday morning. The buildings and garden look beautiful and the tour was helping me see many details and hear the story of Cardiff. I am visiting Cardiff and I am glad to do this tour! I highly recommend.
