Well, yeah, but some of the outlying areas of Neath are also lovely. Which very much predicates being far from Neath itself and *well* into the outlying areas. The Brecon Beacons, preferably.
I'm sure that Woking is nicer than Neath, mind you (I have friends around Chobham and the area is very pleasant). It did look to have a lot of that very unimaginative new town centre architecture, though.
