Caerphilly is more than its castle. This self-guided audio tour takes you through the streets and riverside park of a town with 2,000 years of history, mystery, and legend woven into every corner.
Starting in the town centre, you'll walk past a statue of one of Britain's most beloved comedians, through the park, and out to the site of a Roman fort with views of a side of the castle most visitors never see. The tour ends at the castle gates with one final story about one of the most influential figures of the Victorian age.
Along the way you'll hear how this town grew and changed through the centuries, and the remarkable stories and legends that have gathered around its famous medieval fortress over time.
Your guide is an actor, storyteller, and lifelong Caerphilly resident who grew up with the castle as her playground. Her passion for Welsh history is personal and deep, and her storytelling brings the town's long and layered past to life with warmth and genuine local pride.
The tour uses GPS technology to trigger commentary automatically as you walk. It works fully offline too, so you can explore the park and riverside without needing a signal.
