Geocache Description:

This cache is right in the middle of Cardiff city centre. It is a nano cache measuring 20mm in length and 6mm in diameter. Needless to say, it only contains a small log, so please just initial. MAXIMUM stealth is needed at this location, as it's muggle central.

Queen Street is Cardiff's main pedestrianised shopping street and is home to some of the biggest high street names. The street runs east from Newport Road to west, to Cardiff Castle.

I'm old enough to remember when traffic went down the whole street and then only half.

As the city's main shopping street, Queen Street is the place to see some of the varied musicians and street artists that perform in the city. From classical musicians, street dance and human statues to 3D pavement art, there's always something to catch your eye as you shop.

As well as this, several pieces of public art dot the walk from east to west including four pieces by Welsh sculptor Robert Thomas. Most imposing is the bronze statue of Aneurin Bevan, who was the driving force behind the National Health System. You'll find him at the head of Queen Street, opposite the castle. Other sculptures by Robert Thomas along Queen Street are 'Mother and Son', 'The Family' and 'The Miner'.
