	Lavernock Point - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lavernock Point is a headland on the coast of South Wales, and lies 8 km south of Cardiff and 6 km east of Barry.
		On 18 May 1897, Guglielmo Marconi, assisted by George Kemp, a Cardiff Post Office engineer, transmitted the very first message by wireless telegraphy — radio — across the water between the island of Flat Holm and Lavernock Point, a distance of 3.5 statute miles (5.5 km).
		Because of the extreme tidal range in the severn estuary into which Lavernock point protrudes, there are very strong tidal currents or rips close inshore to the point with speeds that exceed 7 knots for several hours each tide.

		Vehicles can be parked before the entrance to the Marconi Club, and access on foot can be obtained by way of a public footpath through a kissing gate into the adjacent field and over a stile, though a gap in the hedge on the left.
		Lavernock Point is made up of two fields, an inland unimproved meadow and a cliff-top field bearing a mosaic of fine unimproved limestone grassland and scrub.
		The Point is a good place from which to see/watch for unusual vagrant sea birds, especially after summer storms, where there is a good chance of seeing considerable numbers of Manx Shearwaters, Skuas, or one of the less common Terns.

	Walk #373: Lavernock Point to Summerhouse Point
		Rhoose Point is the southernmost point in mainland Wales, a fact that a sign proudly told me. It must be a close-run thing, however, as Breaksea Point a few miles west seems to be nearly as far south.
		By the time I reached Summerhouse Point I was feeling very tired, cold and wet, and so I called Sam and told her that I was finishing the walk early.
		I could have continued on to Col-huw Point, to the southwest of Llanwit Major, where Sam was due to pick me up, but I decided that the extra couple of miles were not worth risking getting a cold for.

	Privateline.com Mobile Telephone History: Ellison Hawk
		Communication was easily established over the shorter distance (3.3 miles), but between Lavernock and Steepholm (5.35 miles) conversation was found to be impossible; and Morse signals, although perceptible, were unreadable.
		In March 1898, Preece's system was permanently established between Lavernock Point and Flatholm, and was handed over to the British War Office.
		Thus, although quite successful for communication over short distances, this system was useless for long distances on account of the great lengths of wire necessary for its successful working.

	Sea trip - Sully to Lavernock (and back), Sat. 11 Dec.
		Three hardy paddlers - John N., Rob G. and I (Hywel) braved the elements - fine weather and a flat sea - for a walk in the park, or rather a paddle on the Severn Sea.
		The highlight was probably seeing what we thought was a mirage - of men walking on the water as we paddled east to Lavernock.
		John and Rob were sceptical of my planning but when they saw the stream still ebbing at Lavernock Point they were almost convinced I'd got it right - until immediately afterwards when we turned and found paddling west hard work.

		Brean Down Fort - along with other forts at Flat Holm, Steep Holm, and Lavernock Point - was built to defend the Bristol Channel.
		The latter, which occupied the highest point on the Heights, was unfinished by 1814, and was not completed until after 1859.
		This was when the construction of Fort Burgoyne, which is to the north of Dover Castle, was also begun, and by 1861 Dover had fortifications that could house 7000 men.
