Resolven and Tonna sit in the wooded Vale of Neath within Neath Port Talbot in Wales, tucked into the corridor carved by the River Neath. The landscape is notable for its hills and waterfalls - including the nearby Melincourt Falls - which make the area popular with walkers and photographers while keeping a distinctly rural character despite being within easy reach of Neath and Swansea.
Both communities bear the imprint of a coal, iron and quarrying past but today are quieter, relying on agriculture, small local businesses and outdoor tourism, with many residents commuting to larger towns. Tonna has a strong local sporting and community life - its rugby club is well known locally - while Resolven retains a compact village centre and scattered historical buildings, together forming a close-knit part of the Neath Port Talbot borough.
