Green fields. Clear blue sky. Two kilometres west of the very well-preserved medieval castle Glimmingehus is Vallby. The village is located around the crossroads where one road leads from Glimmingehus to Hammenhög while the other, a fairly narrow and winding road, connects national road 11 with Borrby.
The settlement consists of farms and low street houses. The villagers can be said to be a mixture of farmers, artists, entrepreneurs and summer residents. The nearest larger town with schools and other services is Hammenhög half a mile to the west and Borrby half a kilometre south.
In between Hammenhög and Vallby is the popular farm shop Gunnarshög where rapeseed oil is pressed and processed into a wide range of products that attract many visitors. Simrishamn is about one mile north-east of Vallby. The distance to the beach at Borrby strand is also about one mile.
