Gaer Road, Newport
Another route of Andy driving Gwen and Rhys to Rhiannon's
Pretty much the same directions as Cae Brynton Road, Newport but at the last instruction after Southern Distributor Road/A48, take Cardiff Road/B4237 to Gaer Road in Newport instead.
Buchan Close, Newport
Either Andy got lost or this was another scenery shot for the journey to Rhiannon’s home.
Just follow the instructions for Meredith Close but at the Bassaleg Road and Melfort Road, take the route for Buchan Close.
Victoria Tower Gardens, London
Rhys was sat at a park bench waiting on Gwen's instructions to release the information about the 456.
Although not the quickest route into London, it is the simplest one to follow. Just be aware that there will be tolls. So, have you had your injections?
Directions by car
So, take the Cardiff Bay Link
Road/Eastern Bay Link Road/A4232, Rover Way, A4232 and Eastern Avenue/A48 to
A48(M) for 14 mins then follow M4 to Great West Road/A4 in London. This will
take 2 hours and 26 minutes, before following A4, A3220 and A3212 to Lambeth

Take the Central Link/A4232, A470 and A469 to Wenallt Road in Thornhill. After 23 minutes turn left onto Wenallt Road. Wenallt Car Park 2 will be on the right.
Wenallt Woods is a Cardiff County Council Wood and is 44 hectares of ancient woodland and is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)
Wenallt Woods was also used for the
teleportation scene when Martha left the Valiant and watched London burn, as
the Toclafane flew overhead.
International Press Centre, Shoe Lane, London
Jack is picked up by helicopter from London. He instructs Gwen to find Ianto's family and keep them safe.
The quickest route is by plane but it will cost you over £100 for the privilege. So, the easiest route is by car. Naturally, there are tolls to go through.
Once again, take the Cardiff Bay Link Road/Eastern Bay Link Road route...which will take 14 minutes before you take the M4 to Western Avenue/A40 in Denham. This will take you 2 hours and 18 minutes before you continue on the A40.
Drive to Shoe Lane in City of London, which will take 43 minutes and you will arrive at Plumtree Court at 25 Shoe Lane, Holborn, London, EC4A 4AU. This is private property however and you won't be able to access the roof. But you should be able to see the building from Ludgate Circus which has the best ground view of the many windowed structure.
Back in 2006 during The Runaway Bride, the Doctor and Donna sat on the rooftop while the TARDIS recovered.
Llanstephan Road, Rumney, Cardiff
Directions by car
It takes 12 minutes to reach this area
if taking the Cardiff Bay Link Road route to Lamby Way in Rumney which will
take 10 minutes before reaching the roundabout, and taking the first exit,
staying on Lamby Way. After less than a minute, follow the B4239 and Greenway
Road to Llanstephan Road. After two minutes turn left onto Llanstephen Road,
Rumney.
Pillgwenlly Primary School, Newport
Another scene of a school as the army rounds up the children into big yellow buses. Parents naturally unhappy about this.
Because it's a school, and although I
may have listed some school locations in the past, I feel it's unwise to
continue doing so as you could wind up in the back of a police car.
Do be aware that any lingering at school
gates can these days get you a free ride in a Police car. Especially during
term times.
MOD St Athan, Vale of Glamorgan
Take the A4232 to Port Road/A4050 in Culverhouse Cross. Take the A48/A4050 exit from A4232 for seven minutes, then head south-west on Cardiff Bay Link Road/Queens Gate Tunnel/A4232 for 5.8 miles. Use the left lane to take the A48/A4050 slip road to Cardiff West/Gorllewin Caerdydd/Barry/Barri for 0.2 miles. Keep left and follow signs for A4050 and merge onto Port Road/A4050.
Continue on Port Road and take the B4265 to Cowbridge Road. Merge onto Port Road/A4050. When you reach the roundabouts and there will be three of them spaced over a mile or so, take the second exit and stay on Port Road/A4050 for two of these, and on the third roundabout take the 2nd exit onto Port Road W/A4226. After a mile you'll reach another roundabout, take the 2nd exit onto A4226 and at the next roundabout take the 3rd exit onto B4265. After 2.5 miles, continue onto B4265. Turn right onto Gileston Road and Continue onto Rectory Road, and after 0.2 miles continue onto Cowbridge road. You will see MOD Saint Athan after 0.4 miles.
St Mary's Catholic School (aerial), Battersea, London and Battersea Park School (aerial), Battersea, London
Other schools targeted by the 456.
Naturally school areas should not be visited during school hours and these two schools were only shown as aerial shots. So for this reason alone I will not be listing directions to them.
This is the final instalment of Children
of Earth locations. Next month will be the Miracle Day locations that have
still to be completed.
Stay safe people.
