Swansea est la deuxième plus grande ville du Pays de Galles et une ville à l'histoire fascinante. Son nom est d'origine nordique, mais son développement a été assuré par les Normands. Elle a traversé le Moyen Âge et est devenue la plus grande ville du Pays de Galles au XVIIIe siècle grâce à l'essor du commerce du cuivre. La révolution industrielle a donné naissance à Swansea, mais la ville a souffert du déclin de l'industrie lourde et des conséquences de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Des Vikings au cuivre, des trains à Dylan Thomas, l'évolution de cette jeune ville est révélée au cours de cette visite de deux heures.
