Episode Synopsis


Cardiff, capital of Wales, has a history that dates back some 6000 years. Naturally, it's amassed a lot of legends in all that time.

They include secret tunnels, the Beast of Leckwith, strange figures in Bute Park, phantom coaches, and a Royal Infirmary so haunted it needed an exorcism.

Let's explore some of Cardiff's ghost stories and other tales in this week's instalment of Fabulous Folklore!
