We have created a digital Cardiff Jewish heritage trail in three parts. You can follow the trail virtually at home on your computer or visit the sites using your mobile phone.
The trail tells the history of Cardiff Jewish communities through nearly fifty different locations. In addition to descriptions and pictures, the trail includes links to collections and audio excerpts from oral histories on People’s Collection Wales. Five of our popular before and after videos are included. Sources are given for those who want to explore this history more.
​
After you have looked at the trail, we would love it if you returned here to leave your comments / Ar ôl i chi edrych ar y llwybr, byddem wrth ein bodd pe baech yn dychwelyd yma i adael eich sylwadau.
