In 1997 residents from Holtsfield on the Gower peninsula, South Wales, undertook an epic 250-mile march to the House of Lords in London for a legal judgment which they hoped would mark the end of an eight-year battle to save their self-built chalet community. In a secluded semiwoodland setting of some 14 acres, it contains a seemingly random settlement of 27 small, single storey chalets built during the interwar years. The picturesque and colourful chalets are each highly individual, no two being alike, each reflecting the character of the occupiers. They are built of timber and lightweight materials.
