Cardiff Dark Side Walking Tour
Overview

The Cardiff Dark Side Tour shows you the other side of the Welsh capital.
Cardiff is a city renowned for its castle and its rugby stadium, built on the success of the Bute family and the coal exporting industry. However, it has a darker edge that one doesn't see today, one of hangings, executions, graveyards and disease, for example.
Even the most innocuous locations of central Cardiff that we walk by every day may have been the location of execution or slum.

What To Expect
We start in the middle of modern Cardiff's most central street. Today an upmarket shopping area, but historically Cardiff's infamous housing courts spread out from this street, as with them came disease.
While a major department store today, the site has historically been the location of a chapel, as well as an execution site.
