Lavernock (Welsh: Larnog) is a small village in the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales, lying between Penarth and Sully, and overlooking the Bristol Channel.

On May 13, 1897, Guglielmo Marconi, assisted by George Kemp, a Cardiff Post Office engineer, transmitted the first wireless signals over water from Lavernock Point to Flat Holm island. The message sent in Morse code was 'ARE YOU READY.'
