About this episode

Wales has a long tradition of supernatural storytelling shaped by castles, inns, coastal landscapes and a language with deep historical roots. This episode, titled Ysbrydion Cymru, travels through several regions to explore places associated with Welsh ghost lore.

The route begins near Porthcawl with Sker House and the legends of Sker Point. It continues to the Rummer Tavern in Cardiff, Llindir Inn in Denbigh, Trevor Arms in Marford and the Skirrid Mountain Inn near Abergavenny.

The final stops are Caerphilly Castle, Gwrych Castle in Abergele and Cardiff Castle. The episode distinguishes the documented histories of these buildings from later reports, legends and literary traditions while preserving the atmosphere that has made them enduring parts of haunted Wales.
