Tudor Cardiff: En självguidad ljudturné
Beskrivning
För länge sedan bleknade Tudor Cardiff till historien, tillsammans med nästan alla sina byggnader. Idag är Cardiff en livlig, modern stad så det är svårt att tro att det i mitten av 1500-talet var bara en liten hamn och marknadsstad vid floden Taff. På den här GPS-guidade vandringsturen får du se bortom de moderna byggnaderna på ledtrådarna som berättar stadens historia om berömmelse och ryktbarhet under den mäktiga Tudordynastins dagar. När du tar dig genom stadens centrum kommer jag att peka ut de enda två kvarvarande Tudorbyggnaderna och avslöja det märkliga ursprunget till några av Cardiffs gatunamn som Womanby, Golate och Wharton Streets. Du får höra hur livet var i Tudor Cardiff, inklusive hur olika de rikas och fattigas dagliga kost var och hur läskunnighet innebar att det fanns olika lagar för de olika samhällsklasserna. Och på vägen till Bute Park, där turen slutar, passerar du St John The Baptist City Parish Churchs slående torn, Gorsedd Stone Circle, och det spektakulära Cardiff Castle.

You take your time, spritely comments and lots of information. Very unique historical take; you could go back n forth and repeat as needed;
A beautiful, surprising and educating tour of a city I have visited and stayed in many times over the years. James captures your attention with the sounds and descriptions of Tudor life, from the rich to the poor. I could truly picture how different Cardiff is now to how it was then. Thank you a wonderful morning sent in Tudor Cardiff.
Fantastic, really enjoyed the information provided. Highly recommend it. Done professionally and enthusiastically
Great, easy listening experience. I did get a bit turned around in the Bute park area because I assumed we’d be walking along the pathways but if you walk over the grass, you should be fine.
Awesome experience, easy to follow and so informative. If I could do this, anyone can. Allows you to travel at your own pace and to relished to the commentary .
I'd never heard of such audio tours but was looking for things to do in Cardiff whilst I had some free time, and this popped up. I took the plunge and it was so easy to follow. And so much fun! Alongside the narration there was often Tudor music and sound effects (what it would have sounded like in Tudor times, where I was stood) which made it even better as I felt immersed in the atmosphere and could then really take in the facts and descriptions. Walking through the park whilst the Friars were chanting was a beautiful moment, and I loved learning about some of the different parts of the castle & its links to Tudors. I think this may become a bit of an obsession - that evening I made a list of audio tours to do next - they're everywhere! I hope they're as good as this one 😁
