I strongly recommend that you purchase his brilliant “Transition Handbook”. It is less than £10 at Amazon. Here is the Amazon link to Rob Hopkins “Transition Towns Handbook”.
The main Transition site is at http://transitionculture.org/.
There are some PDF downloads at http://transitionculture.org/essential-info/pdf-downloads/. The “Kinsale Energy Descent Action Plan” is particularly interesting.

There are many prominent transition towns. These include Bath, Frome, and many others. See the list on the main Transitions Towns site. There are also lots of “Mullers”. These are towns that are thinking about becoming “Transition Towns”.
