Captain Scott's Lighthouse

Back blipped shot

Trip to Roath Park Lake, during our weekend in Cardiff, lots of good memories here.

History of the Lighthouse

The lighthouse has been dedicated to the memory of Captain Scott. Scott sailed from Cardiff in 1910, on the Terra Nova, to attempt to be the first group of men to sail to the South Pole. Scott and his team reached their destination in 1912 only to find that they had been beaten by Roald Admunsens' Norwegian team. On the return journey Scott and his team died from a combination of hunger, exhaustion and extreme cold. The lighthouse in Roath Park was dedicated to Scott in 1915
