Gileston
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gileston is a small Welsh village in Bro Morgannwg (the Vale of Glamorgan) on the coast of South Wales. It is located some 15 miles along the coast from Cardiff and lies between Barry and Llantwit Major. A quaint old village itself, (still having one of the few remaining red telephone boxes) it is juxtaposed in contrast to the modern Aberthaw Power Station which lies on the waterfront nearby. Gileston beach still has a number of pill boxes which still stand from World War II. It has the arable farm of the Thomas family who have farmed the surrounding land for over 100 years.
