'Cefn-y-Wrach, a bed of stones about 800 yards in extent, lies east-ward of Penarth Head. Its western side and part of the drying ledges which extend off Penarth Head have been cut away to form a channel to Cardiff Docks.

The Orchards are two patches of drying mud and stones, lying near low-water line about 1¼ and 2 miles, respectively, north-eastward of Penarth Head.
