Touchwood film locations give you a chance to explore some great areas around Wales' capital city. Based in Cardiff's beautiful waterfront location Mermaid Quay, Ianto's Shrine celebrates the character Ianto Jones who met his fictional death in series three. The shrine contains messages and gifts from some of Ianto's most hard core fans; in fact someone once hung a whole suit on it though this has long gone.
The shrine covers the filming location for the exterior of the Hub Door and while it is barely visible due to the quantity of fan messages attached to the shrine the back of the door can still be seen if you take a sneaky peak through the wooden wall on the boardwalk incline to the side of the shrine.
While this location is probably for the hard core Torchwood and Ianto fan it is a great location to visit where you can take advantage of some of the shops, coffee shops, restaurants and bars in Mermaid Quay and the shrine is just a short walk from the Doctor Who Experience.
The Shrine is publicly accessible at all times, there is no entry fee. On very rare occasions the boardwalk can be temporarily taped off during times of high water but it still viewable from the upper walkway.
Filming was difficult as there was a very narrow field of view they could shoot around the building. Any further left or right and the full view of the bay and it's tourists would easily fall in shot. The Waterguard Restuarant and Bar was used for the exterior shots of Jack's home. The bar, which is an independant brewery, has a long stretch of grass and benches which is great for a drink on long hot summer days and evenings. It is a mixure of an old stone built docks building with post-modern extension and interior.
It is open all year round though is usually busier during summer months. Cathedral Green, Llandaff. Caerphilly Castle. Find out more about Caerphilly Castle. St Fagans National History Museum.

He was forced into working for the organisation. Captured by two female Torchwood agents Alice Guppy and Emily Holroyd , Jack was subjected to torture and interrogation regarding the Doctor before being put to work for the Institute as a freelance agent for over a century.
A few years later , whilst this Harkness was in Torchwood's employ, Guppy and Charles Gaskell found and disinterred another Harkness on a different timeline , who instructs them to immediately cryofreeze and store him for years to avoid him meeting his other self - they comply with his request.
The activities of the Torchwood Institute during the 20th century have, for the most part, yet to be revealed. It is known that the organisation "flourished down the decades, becoming stronger" and grew "more arrogant. Torchwood Three's progressive stance is also shown in the episode " Exit Wounds ", where a black Torchwood member possibly leader called Charles Gaskell is shown in , an era of widespread racial prejudice.
In , Torchwood became the sole proprietor of H. Clements, a security firm, while in a "Jathar Sunglider" flew into British airspace and was shot down by Torchwood. From its remains, an energy weapon was installed in London. He claimed that he was "saving" them, as the twenty-first century was when it all changed and humanity was not ready.
Left in charge of Torchwood Three, Jack began severing the links with Torchwood One and their more aggressive policy on extraterrestrial life. By , the existence of Torchwood was apparently a secret known only to the British military and police. Torchwood's activities during the time the Third Doctor was exiled to earth during either the s or s depending upon one's point of view have yet to be revealed.
To Torchwood, the Doctor was a source of vast information and familiarity with alien technology which they could exploit to further the organisation's aims.
Torchwood Tower had been built to reach a spatial breach feet above sea level. Unbeknownst to Torchwood, the breach had been caused by the entrance into the universe of a "void ship", a vessel designed to travel through the void between parallel universes. Torchwood had been conducting experiments on the breach, in an attempt to harness its energy and reduce Britain's reliance on Middle Eastern oil, but these experiments had caused the breach to widen.
The "ghosts" turned out to be Cybermen from an alternate universe, which were using the widening breach to travel between universes. A small advance force of Cybermen infiltrated Torchwood, upgrading or subverting Torchwood personnel, before eventually seizing control and opening the breach wide enough for ghost like creatures around the world to manifest fully as millions of Cybermen.
