Rhoose & Airport

Rhoose and the adjacent airport sit on the southern edge of the Vale of Glamorgan, where the village grid gives way to airport buildings and stretches of coast. The community includes Rhoose Point, a low-lying headland with shingle and saltmarsh that the Wales Coast Path follows along the shore. Local services cluster around the village centre: a primary school, parish facilities and small shops serve residents, while housing developments extend toward the airport perimeter. The airport terminal and runway form a visible landmark that shapes land use and daily rhythms in the area.

Transport links are a key feature: Rhoose railway station provides services on the Vale of Glamorgan line, offering a rail connection for commuters and travellers. Road routes and local bus services meet at village stops and the airport forecourt, making short trips across the Vale straightforward. The mix of coastal terrain, village streets and airport infrastructure creates an area where maritime edge meets transport function, and where the rail stop sits within easy reach of the terminal and the shoreline.
