The lighthouse

This lighthouse stands in Roath Park Lake which is situated in a lovely Cardiff location. This is my favourite place to visit in Cardiff, if I need to unwind, have time to myself or take my niece and nephew out for the day, Roath Park is the ideal location, it's stunning.

The land for Roath Park was donated by the Marquess of Bute to the city in 1887. Work initially focused on creating the lake from an area of marshland.

A lighthouse was constructed in the lake containing a scale model of the ‘Terra Nova’ ship as a memorial to Captain Scott who sailed to the Antarctic from Cardiff in 1910. The park's atmosphere today still retains the Victorian elegance and its status as a Conservation Area ensures these qualities will be protected.
