Welcome to the Five Villages Chronicle.

The latest issue, Winter 2025, is at the printers and will soon be delivered to the residents of the Five Villages by our dedicated team of volunteers. Some copies may also be available for reading in Holywell Library and in some pubs and cafés within the Five Villages area. Please do not remove those copies but leave them for others to enjoy.

The cover: The Bryn in Carmel in the snow. Many thanks to Steven Jones.
