West Glamorgan Villages covers the villages of the new counties of Bridgend, Neath Port Talbot and the City and County of Swansea, from former mining valleys to the coastal plain and the beautiful Gower peninsular. 149 villages are covered in the book. Each village is described highlighting features of interest whether it be history, legend, or personalities. The stories of the villages reflect the changes that have occurred over the years and the transient nature of civilization. Rural communities have seen their villages change into commuter suburbs. The industrial revolution saw deserted green valleys develop into thriving communities that are now seeking reasons for their continuing existence. Every age, whether it be Neolithic, Bronze, Iron, Roman, Celtic Christianity, Norman or Industrial, has left its mark on the area. From the earliest known human in Britain to coal mines and heavy metal industry, from Norman castle to non-conformist chapel the story is to be found in these villages.

The Vale of Glamorgan was described by Thomas Carlyle as "the Welsh Paradise of Sleepy Hollow". Its villages nestle among narrow lanes behind the dramatic cliffs and sandy beaches of the Bristol Channel with castles, churches, country pubs, Neolithic burial chambers and grand mansions bearing witness to countless tales of religion, love and war. Through the ages the wealthy have chosen to live in the Vale, from the Norman conquerors who built the castles and the coal and iron magnates of the 19th century who constructed luxurious mansions, to the pop stars, footballers, businessmen and politicians of today who see the area as an attractive peaceful haven. The villages of the Vale are rich in history and legend and this book gives a brief description of each, their attractions and a little of their history.

Villages of Britain is the history of the countryside, told through five hundred of its most noteworthy settlements. Many of Britain's villages are known for their loveliness, of course, but their role in shaping the nation over the centuries is relatively untold, drowned out by the metropolitan bias of history. A consummate storyteller, Clive Aslet deftly weaves the worlds of agriculture, politics, the arts, industry, folklore, science, ecology, fashion and religion into one irresistible volume. The Bedfordshire works that a century ago manufactured half a billion bricks a year; the Cheshire municipality striving to become the country's first carbon-neutral community; the Derbyshire estate where the cottages represent the gamut of European architecture; the Gloucestershire community founded by Tolstoyans, who still live by anarchic principles; the Leicestershire town where pub walls are embedded with Jurassic-era fossils; the Morayshire settlement where Hogmanay is celebrated eleven days late; the Pembrokeshire fishing hamlet that inspired Dylan Thomas; the Somerset village that was built on the back of the trade in Peruvian bird droppings; the Suffolk village that is rejecting modernity by reconstructing a windmill for grinding flour; the Surrey woodland that fosters Europe's most ancient trees - all these are places that have made a unique contribution to the narrative of this country. Follow Clive Aslet in visiting all five hundred villages, and you will have experienced the history of these islands from a uniquely rural perspective.
