Towns & Villages
<!-- please trim this list to the 5-9 most prominent and move the rest to sub-regions per Wikitravel policy -- I will look at the policy but all of these villages are in the Vale of Glamorgan, which is only about 130 sq miles; and which is what makes it so unique and quaint, by removing them destroys the character of the Vale. If you did not stop you could drive through all of them in 1 day; Brianeric.--I am struggling to find "sub-regions per Wikitravel policy"; Brianeric.-->

The best way to get around the 'Vale' is by car, this enables you to visit all the quaint villages easily because they are not well serviced by public transport.
