The Ghosts of St Fagans: A Stroll Through the Haunted Museum

I love creating audio tours of cities which lie close to my heart in the hope that others will share my love and passion.

I wrote my first audio tour of Cardiff, Wales in 2018. I grew up with Cardiff on my doorstep and lived there most of my adult life. Discovering its incredible but still largely unknown history became an ever-growing passion. This led me to develop walking tours and telling people the history, legends and ghost stories of Cardiff and Wales – tales of Kings, Princes, and a one-time tiny town on the Taff that overnight become the world’s biggest coal port, from which emerged the grand domes, towers and columns of its beautiful civic centre….and all the time, in its woodlands and castles lurk ancient legends and tales of ghosts!

I am delighted that, thanks to VoiceMap, I have been able to convert some of these tours into self-guided audio tours.

Since 2019 I have had a new home, Copenhagen, and I have fallen in love with this city. Discovering its history, its character, and its characters past and present, has been an all-consuming pleasure, always full of surprises. In 2021 I was delighted to offer my first Copenhagen audio tour, which was a labour of love to research and develop, as a prelude to more Copenhagen tours following in 2022 and 2023.

In 2023 I was very excited to introduce my first ever audio tour in Poland, of Warsaw’s beautiful Old Town. I have been fascinated and deeply moved by Polish history since childhood, and as an adult I have been spellbound by the beauty of its cities, and awe struck by the resilience and determination of the Polish character despite everything the country has experienced.

In 2025 I published a series of audio tours of Łódź! I hope that my tours of Łódź shed new light on this striking, exciting, and much underrated city! Moreover, I hope that my audiotour of the site of the Łódź Ghetto serves as a powerful informational and educational tool, shedding light on the city's darkest chapter. Indeed, I hope all my Polish audio tours convey my admiration and respect for the country's history and culture.

This audio tour can only be done when the venue, St Fagans National Museum of History, is open. It is open every day between 10am and 5pm (it is only closed on December 25th).

The museum is FREE to enter. However, if you are travelling by car there is a fee of £6 for car parking (the ticket is valid for the duration of your visit).

The car park is just a few metres walk from the tour starting point.

An hourly bus service (number 32A operated by EasyWay of Pencoed) takes you from central Cardiff (bus stop number KN in Westgate Street). Buses leave at 5 minutes past the hour. The journey takes approximately 25-30 minutes and the bus takes you right into the museum grounds and up to the entrance building, just a few metres walk from the tour starting point. The fare may be subject to change but is around the £3.50-£5.00 range for a return ticket and the buses accept card payments and cash (and give change if paying by cash).
