Considering this was once the site of a cement works, and asbestos factory, it's actually quite a lovely place to visit with wildlife, lakes and interesting rock formations.
A nice place for a walk. A tranquil and picturesque place.
Not brilliant for dogs near the sea though as it's very rocky and slippery.

A huge corperate menhir blocks the star chart.

We found Rhoose Point via google maps when looking for something to do that was close to the Cardiff airport. What a very pleasant surprise! We spent 3+ hours walking along the rocks to the beach, exploring the terrain, the tide pools, the rock caves and enjoying the nature around us. Along the walk down to the monolith, the lilacs were over 10 feet tall and smelled amazing! Rhoose Point was an unexpected high point during our wonderful trip to Wales!
A beautiful hidden gem only a short drive away from the capital city. While most people visit for the pebble beach and sea there are also plenty of other attractions here including wildlife ponds with reed beds, and various areas of grassland and shrubs in an old quarry which has since been reclaimed by nature (and the large housing estate nearby).
We parked in the housing estate and followed on of the paths down the pebble beach. The first stretch of the path was made of tarmac but further on you step onto a gravel path which was uneven in places. Access to the beach could be a little tricky due to the pebbles and some large rocks but it's well worth visiting if you can traverse them.
Near the entrance to the beach stands a stone circle with a large monolith in the centre to mark the most southern point of mainland Wales.
The area was quite popular with young families and dog walkers with most dogs running off their leads.

Visited when hiking from Barry Island to the power station. You wouldn’t think you are just 15mins from Cardiff or 5 mins from a busy Barry Island. Well worth a visit.
Absolutely love visiting here. Lovely and quiet and a couple if benches to stop off at. Lots of little areas to explore
