Review: Cardiff Castle

An Audio tour and interpretation centre have hugely improved how the story of Cardiff Castle is told, says Tim Bryan (head of collections at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydom)
 

"......Given the size of the castle and its grounds, the choice of an audio tour to tell the rest of the story is unsurprising. Not everyone is comfortable with this form of interpretation, but this one works well...........the result is that the perception of Cardiff Castle as a Victorian oddity is soon dispelled and the long history of the stronghold is revealed as one walks around the site.......

"......The new interpretation centre and its audio tour have realigned its story, placing the 19th-century development in more context and showing its 2000-year history in a sharper focus than before"
