University Hospital Llandough

University Hospital Llandough is a district general hospital in Llandough, Wales. It is managed by the Cardiff and Vale University Health Board.

In the first decade the 20th century the Cardiff Board of Guardians realised that the existing accommodation for the sick at the City Lodge was inadequate and waiting lists for admission there had been in excess of 2000 patients at any one time. In order to relieve pressure on the existing hospitals, in 1912 a 48-acre site at Llandough was purchased with a view to building a new hospital there. The First World War and the death of the original architect intended for the project caused significant delays in its planning, but progress had been made by the mid-1920s after a public enquiry for the provision of the hospital. The design involved a pavilion layout which was common of hospitals of the time. Construction of the hospital began in 1928, with Mary, Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood laying the foundation stone, and was completed in 1933.
