About the Cardiff Castle Time Traveller website

Find out more about the Castle, play games and travel through time with a cast of characters from the past.

When you visit the Castle you can listen to the characters on the children’s audio guide or follow the Family Trail.

Click through history to find out how people lived during the different periods of history, or view the timeline to see what the Castle looked like and what was happening in Cardiff at the time.

If you are visiting the Castle as a part of a school visit with your class you can use these pages to prepare for your visit or follow-up work in the classroom.

We hope you enjoy time travelling with us!

For teachers

These pages are also designed to support an educational visit and give a historical context to the 2,000 years of history which can be covered by visiting the Castle.
