Doctor Who Cardiff Walking Tour

Cardiff has been the home of Doctor Who since the show returned in 2005 and, on this fully guided walking tour, you will get to experience where over 30 memorable scenes from more than 20 episodes have taken place.

Starting off at Cardiff Castle, your tour will include a 30 minute walk around the Medieval and Victorian areas of the castle including the TARDIS library, scenes from the episode Rebel Flesh plus Torchwood and Sherlock.

This is then followed by a walking tour around Cardiff City centre and includes the scene of Danny Pink’s death from Series 8, a visit to the National Museum of Wales which has hosted many scenes from the show, the site of Donna Noble’s ill-fated wedding, Rose Tyler’s workplace and much more.

Your guide will show you how terrestrial and intergalactic scenes were filmed on location in Cardiff and give you the chance to follow in the footsteps of four of the Doctors and their assistants.

The walk will finish in Cardiff City Centre. Please note that owing to the nature of the locations visited, this tour is not wheelchair or pram friendly.

This walking tour complements the Doctor Who Cardiff Bus Tour (which runs the day before, on Fridays) and visits sites in Cardiff Bay and the suburbs of the Welsh capital.

We really enjoyed this tour, the Guide was great fun, and knew his stuff, more accurate than the 'official' BBC guides on the Cardiff Bay walking tour we also went on. Peter Butler, Colchester (Trip Advisor Review)
