Rhoose Point (Welsh: Trwyn y Rhws) is the most southerly point of mainland Wales, although Breaksea Point also makes that claim.
It lies on the southern coast of South Wales and projects into the Bristol Channel.
Nearby used to be a cement works. On that site there is now a development of 600 houses that has greatly extended the village of Rhoose. There are plans to build more on Rhoose Point.
Famous quotes containing the word point:
“By many a legendary tale of violence and wrong, as well as by events which have passed before their eyes, these people have been taught to look upon white men with abhorrence.... I can sympathize with the spirit which prompts the Typee warrior to guard all the passes to his valley with the point of his levelled spear, and, standing upon the beach, with his back turned upon his green home, to hold at bay the intruding European.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
