I've just spent two weeks in Somerset (yes, I know that this is not Wales) and Wales recently. When I've been to the beach of Uphill, Weston-Super-Mare, Somerset (car park on the beach, close to the marina), I noticed this structure.
According to the map, I seem to look more or less towards Cardiff. However I could not find any structure that would match this.
Technical notes:
- Image has been taken with a camera with APS-C chip (crop factor 1.6)
- Lens was fully zoomed at 300 mm.
- Image has been slightly cropped and rotated because I failed to straighten out the camera.
- Left in the image is Steep Holm. GPS coordinates were 51.3250120, -2.9901476.
Does anybody have an idea?

It could be Flat Holm lighthouse and the view is just somewhat distorted because of the mirage effect on it.
That looks to me like Aberthaw power station.
It also seems like you might have captured a [Superior Mirage](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirage#Superior_mirage) because I’d imagine you wouldn’t see that much of it from the other side of the Bristol channel
This was fun! It’s [Aberthaw Power Station](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberthaw_power_stations)
Looks like Aberthaw power station.
