What you can expect

  • Begin your tour just outside the entrance to the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff Bay, where scenes from New Earth, The Girl Who Waited, The Sound of Drums, and Vincent and the Doctor have featured.

    Immediately recognize Roald Dahl Plass, an expansive public plaza that has frequently doubled as the entrance to the underground Torchwood Hub. This spot is synonymous with thrilling chases and pivotal moments from both Doctor Who and its spin-off, Torchwood.

    As you stroll along the waterfront, your guide will point out scenes from numerous Doctor Who episodes. The Senedd, home to the Welsh Parliament, boasts a futuristic design that has made it a perfect backdrop for alien invasions and political intrigue, including its big role in “The Lazarus Experiment”.

    The Doctor Who Cardiff Bay Walking Tour will take in the exterior of the BBC Studios at Roath Lock, which was the home of Doctor Who between 2012 and 2021.
