Overview

  • Cardiff has a reputation as the home of Bad Wolf Studios and the city with ties to the Torchwood spin-off TV show. It’s also known as the beating heart of the Doctor Who cinematic universe: The Whoniverse.

    On this Cardiff Bay walking tour, you’ll experience the city’s vibrant culture, discover its rich history, and explore its status as the Doctor’s gateway into time and space.

    You’ll explore streets made famous by Doctor Who, Torchwood, and other productions. I’ll point out specific filming locations and explain how the film and television industry has become Wales’ fastest-growing economic sector.

    By the end of this tour, you’ll appreciate just how important Cardiff Bay has been for the filming of Doctor Who and Torchwood over the years. You’ll also have seen first-hand the key locations and learned a little bit about what was going through the minds of their writers and producers.
