Located near the village of Rhoose in the stunning Vale of Glamorgan, Rhoose Point (Welsh: Trwyn y Rhws) stands as a captivating headland and settlement. Nestled in the southernmost reaches of Wales, this picturesque locale holds the distinction of being the most southerly settlement in the country. While some argue that nearby Breaksea Point also lays claim to this title, Rhoose Point remains a remarkable destination that showcases the natural beauty and coastal charm of mainland Wales.

Breaksea Point is claimed as the southernmost point of mainland Wales, although that is also claimed of Rhoose Point and the Vale of Glamorgan Council have placed a fixed notice to that effect. Almost 12 miles (20 km) to the east, the Welsh island of Flat Holm is slightly further south in latitude.
