Geocache Description:

A medium sized cache with room for swappables.

The cache is located just off a public footpath.

Thornhill is a reasonably modern area with a centralised precinct providing a community centre, a supermarket (under redevelopment), and a Medical Centre; which in early August 2007, suffered an arson attack. The building has since been redeveloped.

There are five pubs in the area. Despite being placed directly off the M4 corridor, Thornhill has no motorway junction - Junction 31 of the M4 was never built due to the resistance of local residents .... but that's another cache story!!

Thornhill Cemetery is a major cemetery located in this area of Cardiff. Thornhill crematorium was built on this site during the 1950s as a dedicated crematorium.

Most of Thornhill's residential development took place during the 1990s, Cardiff County Council originally planned Thornhill as "The Villages of Thornhill"; with clusters of houses interspersed by large green areas. These green areas were short lived as rapid housing development resulted in homes being built in areas adjoining the "Villages".

Thornhill also houses a few tucked away historical sites including the remains of a castle situated close to the Caerphilly/Thornhill border known as Castell Morgraig. (visit link)
