Nash Point is a hidden gem on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast. The views from the rugged cliffs are breathtaking.
The manufacture of cement has been an important industry within the Vale since the opening of Aberthaw Cement Works in 1916. The Portland Cement and Lime Factory at Cosmeston near Penarth was active until the late 1960's when it closed. The cement works at Rhoose closed in the late 1980's. Today cement production is concentrated at the Blue Circle Industries works near Aberthaw.
Cosmeston Lakes and Mediaeval Village, between Penarth and Lavernock Point, was originally a limestone quarry which became flooded by underground springs when quarrying ceased. The site was landscaped to become a tranquil haven for wildlife.
