Vale's Rock is a picturesque sea stack located off the coast of the Isle of Anglesey in northwest Wales, United Kingdom. This natural wonder stands approximately 19 meters (62 feet) tall and is surrounded by crystal-clear waters, making it a popular spot for kayaking, canoeing, and other water activities. The rock's unique shape, resembling a giant's fist, has been sculpted by the relentless pounding of the Irish Sea's waves over thousands of years.
Lovely forest space. The caves are fascinating. Not recommended for people who struggle to walk up hills. Or walk up a little gap into the caves. Lots of people were walking dogs and riding bikes. Beautiful place.
The Vale's rocks are cordoned off because of risk of rockface and building collapse. The place is overgrown and nothing much to see now. The trail itself is alright, not worthy of visiting again.
Great set of walks through the woods with directional posts to follow. Can't get lost! A lot to see historically, hill top fort to name one location! Artists impression of what it looked like, boundary around it still visible, you get a scope of how big it it was!
Vale's Rock. The lesser known but beautiful rock houses on or in Kinver edge. In recent times these houses have had all scrub and woodland removed to expose the rock houses. The houses themselves have been made secure and acro jacks removed. There's a lot of exposed material on the ground now. Old pottery, metal work and glass from days gone by. There's also a deep gated well on the site and rumour has it that the last resident left in the late 60/70s who was a birch broom maker. Regardless of this, it is a beautiful place and one of my favourite haunts.
Someone may well correct me, (if this is Vales rock) ?? ,, The place I came across had ongoing maintentence, fenced off & warning signs to keep clear as danger of rockfall ? (I hopped over low fence but I kept a safe distance). I also seen Nanny's rock, there's no brick work to subsidize sandstone erosion there in comparion (see my one photo here of Nanny's rock).
Interesting place but maximum to enjoy for 10 minutes.
