St Fagans National Museum of History audio walking tour

St Fagans National Museum of History is Wales's most visited heritage attraction. It is also, by many accounts, one of its most haunted.This walking tour takes you through the lanes of this vast open-air museum, visiting historical buildings rescued from across Wales and rebuilt here over decades. Each one has its own story. Each one, it seems, has never quite let go of its past.You'll hear the history of every building you visit, from a 200-year-old hillside chapel to a striking red farmhouse built to keep evil spirits out. You'll also hear the ghostly tales that have been reported within their walls, some by visitors, some by staff, and some by your guide himself.The tour is based on a ghost walk created and led in person for years by a Cardiff-raised historian and storyteller. He brought thousands of visitors to these very buildings before converting the experience into audio form, adding music and sound effects to deepen the atmosphere. His approach is straightforward: authentic storytelling, no gimmicks.The tour uses GPS technology to trigger commentary automatically as you walk. It works fully offline too, so you can explore the grounds without any need for a signal.Move at your own pace through one of Britain's most unusual museums. The buildings are waiting. So, perhaps, are some of their former occupants.
