Roald Dahl Trail:Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Traditional Cache

To celebrate 100 years since Roald Dahl was born, the Llandaff Society and the Radyr and Morganstown Society set up a walking trail of key locations in Roald Dahl’s life. This series of geocaches will follow this trail.

Mrs Pratchett’s Sweet Shop has changed a lot over the years but this was once the sweet shop that featured in Boy and the Great Mouse Plot. It is now a Chinese takeaway. Due to another geocache close by, this one is a short walk away so you will need to use your 'Pure Imagination'. Mrs Pratchett's Sweet Shop can be found on the High Street.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was published in 1964 and has been adapted into two major motion pictures: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) featuring the late Gene Wilder, and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) starring Johnny Depp. Dahl was inspired by witnessing chocolate companies compete by sending spies to steal trade secrets.

The location is wheelchair accessible but assistance may be required to reach the cache.

There is a parking lot nearby, which is free for two hours. Please bring your own pen.
