Cardiff Bay
The BBC has extensively filmed Torchwood in this area for the last two years and it has been used as locations for the Doctor Who episodes Boom Town, The Lazarus Experiment, New Earth, Utopia and the explosive season three finale, Last of the Time Lords.
Mount Stuart Square
This area has been host to a number of alien invasions in both Torchwood and Doctor Who, with notable appearances in Doomsday and Rise of the Cybermen. It has also seen Kylie Minogue on set in the Coal Exchange Building for the 2007 Xmas special, Voyage of the Damned.
The Bad Wolf playground
One of the most iconic moments from the series one finale was filmed here. It has also featured in New Earth, Fathers Day and Army of Ghosts.
Cardiff City Centre
Here you can walk into filming locations whichever way you turn. The city features heavily in Rose, The Runaway Bride, Voyage of the Damned, The Christmas Invasion, Love & Monsters, Partners in Crime and Planet of the Dead to name just a few.
Cardiff Civic Centre
The National Museum of Cardiff (a tourist attraction in itself), the University of Glamorgan and Cardiff Town Hall were used in the filming of The Lazarus Experiment, Random Shoes, Boom Town and most recently The Doctors Daughter and Planet of the Dead.
Over the past few years buildings all over Cardiff have doubled for alien headquarters and have been the backdrop to invasions by many entities from other planets. There have been the Cybermen, the Adipose, the Autons and even killer Santas on one Christmas Day. So come and take a look at where it all took place!
