Rhoose is a coastal parish in the western Vale of Glamorgan, Wales, lying between Barry and Llantwit Major. The area includes the headland at Rhoose Point and stretches of coastline on the Wales Coast Path, with low-lying farmland and suburban housing meeting beaches, caravan parks and seaside facilities.
Historically a collection of farming and fishing hamlets, the parish has grown markedly since the late 20th century as housing developments and the presence of Cardiff Airport have turned it into a transport‑linked commuter and visitor hub; a local rail station also connects the community to Cardiff. Local life mixes coastal leisure, small businesses and community groups, while the parish’s history and shoreline remain important to its identity.
