This is another in a series of caches that link some of the fantastical places from the “Doctor Who” series with the fantastic reality of Wales.
This is one of a series of caches based on locations used for filming Doctor Who, be the filming the latest series or any of the earlier ones. If you're near such a location and want to add to the series, just let Pezzini know so they can keep the numbers without duplicates and please keep to the naming convention of starting the series with "Who Was Here: ". Thanks.
This location was used in the first episode of Matt Smith's 2010 series. It was also seen in a number of subsequent episodes. Locate the building by standing with the Memorial behind you facing a Westerly direction. Over the wall and behind the gates you will spot the set. Please note that this is a privately owned residential property and please show respect when on the hunt for the cache, it is not inside the grounds. The location was used as the exterior shots to Amelia Pond’s house. Amy joins The Doctor during his adventures through time.
The building was until fairly recently the Vicarage for Rhymney’s three churches (St David’s, St Matthew’s and St Mark’s). Due to their relative locations within Rhymney they were also called Top Church, Middle Church and Bottom Church. Only the Top Church survives today. The vicarage has been moved to a more modern building.
