Additional Notes:
»
Owen is seen to be walking up to Tosh towards the church; however at the time of filming that's the end of Harbour Drive - did Torchwood have another entrance at that end of the bay?!! However, in 2009 a new path linking the Bay with Penarth was opened to the public, so the episode might have been forward-thinking ...
Where to walk to next?

Waterguard Pub (The Runaway Bride, Adam). Head north along Harbour Drive to the pub. centre. (0.1 miles, 1m)
»
The Port Of Cardiff (Love & Monsters, Rise of the Cybermen, Doomsday, End of Days, Adam, The Sontaran Stratagem, The End of Time). You cannot actually get into the Port from here, as it is private; however from the edge of Harbour Drive you can clearly see the row of warehouses seen in Love & Monsters and the rough ground in several other stories (eg. End of Days). If you stand near the lighthouse you can make out the bridge where the Cyberarmy attack in Doomsday.
