See Scott Memorial Lighthouse, Roath Park, Cardiff, Wales

Add to My List Check Off

Around Roath Park, Cardiff. The Scott Monument is lit in the colours of the flag of Ukraine. The houses are on Lake Road West. The monument was repainted and 'spring cleaned' in 2020 after a donation to the Council was made by a local man who had lost both his wife and his mother in 2019. Andy Temple and his wife frequently walked round the lake, as did his mother right up to the age of 97. On 15 June 1910, Scott and the crew of the Terra Nova set sail from Cardiff bound for the Antarctic, where they arrived in October on their ill-fated mission to reach the South Pole. The ship depicted on the weathervane on top of the tower is of Scott's earlier vessel, The Discovery.
