Private Tour
The Ghosts of Llandaff: A Self-Guided Audio Tour
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Follow the forgotten but, in places, ancient pathways which lie behind Llandaff Cathedral on this self-guided audio tour. Isolated, atmospheric, and away from modern urban Cardiff, they are filled with mystery, atmosphere, legend and ghost stories. In places, these paths were ancient Celtic trade routes or medieval roadways.
They are filled with strange and sometimes spine chilling tales of ghosts and phantoms, still being witnessed and reported in modern times. In places, the atmosphere can become strange, overwhelming, even sinister, especially in the dark seclusion of the night!
This tour follows a circular route taking you along a mysterious and atmospheric wooded lane, the scene of many ghostly experiences, before following the riverbank where more ghostly encounters and legends are told. The route turns back towards the Cathedral for more tales, and culminates in the old abandoned and overgrown woodland graveyard, with its intense atmosphere and ghostly tales.

5.00Great story telling of the history of the cathedral. Spooky feel to the commentary and this is especially true if you take the tour when it is dark. I kept finding myself looking behind me just to see if anyone was there!
Great experience

5.00This was such good fun , beautiful cathedral at starting point then lots of spooky historical and factual information as you walk through tree laden lanes , fields next to the Beautiful river and an old cemetery, with a very creepy story. You can wander around the headstones We will go again when it’s dark as the guy telling the stories is brilliant on the headphones and to be there at night will be amazing . Would recommend this . Great value for money . Thanks Llandaff 🩷❤️

5.00My experience is not that scary as I did the tour in the morning. Probably it is scary during the night, especially the background audio. I recommend to do the tour at night.
Exciting walk around!

5.00If we had the chance to do it in the evening, we would have. It was a nice walk with an exciting story! In the end was totally spooky! Loved it! Thank you!
Waste of time with weak Internet.

1.00I tried two days running to go on this walk. Having been on it previously with my other granddaughter thought I would take my other. I couldn't get the app to work both times which meant a very upset little girl (and me). There is very weak Internet at the starting point ALL the time and in the village, which I thought Viator would have thought of! I even asked for help from other people and they couldn't get it to work either. Tried phoning the help line but couldn't get through to that either. Waste of time and money.
Good level of scary.

4.00My 11 year old granddaughter and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The scare factor was just right, and I had no idea that I had been walking the dogs down 'death lane' all these years. Puts a different view on it now! It did take a while to download at the start because the Internet signal is quite weak by the cathedral. Recommend downloading before you get there. Lovely look around the cathedral before we started as well. Audio description was excellant. Thank you
Scary in the dark

5.00This was absolutely fascinating! Done on a summer's afternoon, my goodness in the dark this must be scary as anything!
Fun little adventure.

4.00It was fun. I couldn't do it at night because it was too far from my hotel and I didn't want to walk back in the dark. The cemetery was really the best part, it doesn't really need the night for atmosphere. Be careful, especially at night, when you first get to the river. It talks of taking the path past the fence, but apparently there's a new path that's been added since it was recorded that leads directly into the water.
Excellent!
