Swansea Audio Tour: Castles, Culture, and Hidden Gems of Mount Pleasant
A battered castle rises above the city centre, its stone arches guarding secrets of forgotten battles and midnight plots. Just beyond, an old cinema with a Romanesque grin hides reels of scandalous films and tales of survival through Swansea’s darkest nights. Around the corner, the bold façade of Glynn Vivian Art Gallery glows with a century of artistic rebellion. Take this self-guided audio tour to unlock stories that most visitors rush past—tales lurking in alleyways, painted on brickwork, and whispered in gallery halls. Who risked everything in a desperate siege beneath the shadows of Swansea Castle? What legendary artwork vanished from Glynn Vivian’s walls without a trace? And what infamous film caused such uproar at Castle Cinema that officials banned it outright? Venture along winding streets and echoing halls where rebellions once erupted and modern scandals simmered. See Swansea in a surge of new color, drama, and intrigue at every turn. Ready to follow the stones and stories that shape the city? Press play and uncover what lies beneath.
