Swansea In Gloom Walking Tours

Join Swansea In Gloom’s chief storyteller on a walking tour through the olde town and beyond. Learn about Swansea’s darkest secrets of murder, superstitions, debauchery and ghosts that lurk in every alleyway, as we unearth stories from the medieval past up until the mid 20th Century. You won’t see the city the same way again after you’ve heard these tales, as Olde Swansea is raised from the ashes of history.
