Rhoose Point has been designated as a 'Site of Importance for Nature Conservation' The large meadow, lakes, grassland areas & reed beds make this an ideal place for Off Leash Dog Walking. Located at Rhoose Point, Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales.
I visited this area with a intention of waymarking the satellite oddity, landscape sculptures, you would think they would be easy to find, some were easily visible, others I failed to find, even with the advice & guidance of several Dog walkers.
The coordinates listed are of the nearest parking lot, Rhoose railway station, a free car park.

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."

Wales Coastal Trail:
In 2012 we created the world’s first uninterrupted route along a national coast. The Wales Coast Path covers all the famous bits on its 870-mile odyssey: Gower, Pembrokeshire, the Cambrian Coast. There are numberless beaches, estuaries, cliff-tops and woodlands. City waterfronts, castles and the occasional industrial site among the nature reserves but that’s part of Wales; part of the voyage of discovery." Text Source: (
