City of imagination is the ultimate love story between people and place.
Long before Larysa arrived in Cardiff, the city had unknowingly captured her imagination in books, films, television, music, and poetry. As you walk between the iconic landmarks of Cardiff Bay, stories of adventure, sci-fi, and romance come to life.
Starting at Wales Millenium Centre and looping back around via Roath Lock Television Studios, you will visit sites dedicated to the memories of musician Ivor Novello, author Roald Dahl, and adventurer Robert Falcon Scott. You will also discover the places of fiction that have become familiar through Torchwood and Doctor Who. As your imagination is ignited, you will be introduced to the past and possible future of Wales through the amazing architecture of Cardiff Bay. The Pierhead building reminds us that this part of the city was once the maritime epicentre of industrialisation whilst the Senedd, the Welsh Parliament, symbolises the movement towards future thinking and sustainability.
Bravery, friendship, and hope frame this walking tour, with plenty of humour and some mischievous gargoyles added in for luck.
Starts at the Water tower outside WMC (The Torchwood Tower)
Meet Larysa by the benches.
We are looking forward to having you on the tour.
