Glad we're on the outside Traditional Geocache

This cache is located across the road from Cardiff prison. You do not need to enter the prison to retrieve this cache and you should not attempt to do so, although hanging around looking shifty (as geocachers tend to do) could get you accommodation for the night.

The cache is a magnetic micro (key box) You will need to bring your own pen as the cache is not big enough for a pencil, swaps or trackables.

By 1814, the existing Cardiff Gaol that was located in St Mary street was deemed insufficient for coping with the both the scale of demand and quality of building to cope with the quickly expanding industrial town, and so proposals were made to build a new county jail for Glamorgan. Construction commenced in 1827, and the new stone building located south of Crockherbtown opened at the end of 1832.

It is commonly believed that Cardiff prison is built on the site of ‘The Spital’, a 14th century leper colony run by the nuns of St Mary Magdalene but unfortunately Sister Magdalene was unavailable for comments on this matter.

The hint has changed as it was far to easy.
