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

Having led professional walking tours in person in Cardiff, Wales, for many years through my own business called "Cardiff History and Hauntings" I have turned my passion for history and storytelling into creating audiotours in cities which lie close to my heart, to share this passion ever more widely!

I grew up with Cardiff on my doorstep and lived there for many years of my adult life. Discovering its incredible but still largely unknown history became an ever-growing passion which led me to develop walking tours telling stories of the history, legends and ghost stories of Cardiff and Wales – tales of Kings, Princes, traitors 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….while all the time, in its woodlands and castles, ancient legends and tales of ghosts still lurked! The success of this enterprise led to me being invited to script and present two TV series for local television, as well as guest appearances on TV and radio programmes all over the world.

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. My thirst for historical research and uncovering "tales of the city" found a new focus here and, in 2021, I was delighted to offer my first Copenhagen audio tour, as a prelude to others which followed in 2022 and 2025, with a further tour to follow in 2026!

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.

My Polish partner has further wedded me to a love of this country and 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.

So, that is why I am thrilled to be a VoiceMap publisher. I offer you meticulously researched tours, spoken with true passion!

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).
