Valeways
..an independent registered charity..
founded in 1996 with the aim of improving access to the Vale of Glamorgan's beautiful countryside. This is being achieved through redevelopment, maintenance and promotion of its extensive public rights of way network for the benefit of both residents and visitors. The operation depends on the organisation of groups of volunteers and involves close collaboration between walking enthusiasts, the Vale of Glamorgan Council and the farming community.
The Vale of Glamorgan is the most southerly part of Wales and lies between Cardiff to the
east and Bridgend to the west. It is bounded on the north by the M4 motorway and to the south by the Bristol Channel. Except for the south-eastern portion containing Barry and Penarth, the landscape remains largely rural and the greater proportion is farmed. Although the Vale is a low-lying area, 134 metres at its highest, the rolling nature of the ground provides sweeping distant views. On the northern skyline the Glamorgan hills rise to 670 metres and to the south there are superb cross-chanel views of the Somerset and North Devon Coast and the Exmoor National Park.
