Itinerary

Cardiff Castle

Passing by

Cardiff Castle is the centre piece of the city, and the historical point from which the city of Cardiff emerged. It has also featured in Doctor Who occasionally, from Rebel Flesh in Series 6 to Heaven Sent in Series 10 and even potrays the Great Wall of China...
City Hall

10 min

Cardiff City Hall has become one of the most used Cardiff buildings in Doctor Who in recent years, featuring as numerous incarnations from the White House to the Shadow Proclamation.
National Museum Cardiff

10 min

Arguably the most used buildings in all of modern Doctor Who, the National Museum of Wales regularly, perhaps unsurprisingly, portrays just that, a museum, on numerous occasions.
Stop 4

20 min

The Main building of Cardiff University has popped up sporadically over the years, but becomes a regular fixture as St. Luke's University in Series 10. Additionally, the Glamorgan Building of Cardiff University is one of the most frequently filmed buildings in Doctor Who history.
Temple of Peace and Health

10 min

From a Pompeiian temple to Nazi Germany, Cardiff's Temple of Peace is a staple of the early years of NuWho, particularly its iconic Marble Hall.
Stop 6

10 min

This innocuous side street of central Cardiff plays a bigger role in Doctor Who than one might realise, especially in a couple of well known and significant stories from series 3.
Principality Stadium Tours

10 min Admission not included

Wales' modern day iconic landmark has also played a role in Doctor Who history, although usually not as a stadium. Not only has the Principality played a role over the years but also the streets around it, including Quay St and Westgate St...
Stop 8

10 min

Westgate St plays home to one of the most famous streets from the history of Doctor Who's time in Cardiff. A key sequence from Face the Raven occurs where you least expect in central Cardiff.
Stop 9

10 min

Cardiff's central nightlife strip has appeared consistently over the years, from early Christmas specials like Runaway Bride all the way up to the present day in The Church on Road Road.
Stop 10

10 min

The old House of Fraser or even older Howell's Department Store has been a regular fixture of Doctor Who, from the first episode in 2005, Rose, through to even the most recent stories.
Stop 11

10 min

Finally, we finish off in the centre of town at St. John the Baptist Church, which features one of Cardiff's most unexpected hidden decorations...
