Rhoose Point the most Southerly point of mainland Wales. Features several large & fascinating landscape architecture patterns.
Some are obvious at ground level, others you may walk past & not even notice. The most striking pattern was one I missed, & I did walk alongside it.

From Wikipedia:
"Rhoose Point (Welsh: Trwyn y Rhws) is the most southerly settlement of mainland Wales, although there are claims that Breaksea Point is the most southern point. The Vale of Glamorgan Council had installed a permanent notice verifying Rhoose Point as the most southerly part of Wales’s mainland and there is a small stone circle marking the point as well."
