South Wales

Kort med en definition af South Wales. Den kombinerer South East og South West Wales, inklusive Carmarthenshire og Pembrokeshire, der også kan betragtes som en del af West Wales. Områder i lyserød er historisk blevet betragtet som South Wales, men kan blive betragtet som en del af Mid Wales.

South Wales (walisisk: De Cymru) er en løst defineret region i Wales, der ligger med England mod øst og Mid Wales mod nord. Området har et indbyggertal på omkring 2,2 millioner, hvilket er mere end trefjerdedele af hele Wales' befolkning, inklusive 400.000 i Cardiff, 250.000 i Swansea og 150.000 i Newport. Generelt betragtes området at inkludere de historiske counties Glamorgan og Monmouthshire, og South Wales går mod vest til også at inkludere Carmarthenshire og Pembrokeshire. Fra Swansea og videre mod vest kan befolkningen både betragte sig som at bo i South Wales og West Wales.[1]

Brecon Beacons National Park dækker omkring en tredjedel af South Wales, og den indeholder Pen y Fan, der er det højeste bjerg i Storbritannien syd for Cadair Idris i Snowdonia.

A view of Ogmore Castle and countryside by Merthyr Mawr A view from the northern slopes of Ogmore Down. The village of Merthyr Mawr (OS grid square SS8877) lies a little over half a kilometre beyond the castle ruins. Much of it is obscured by trees although the tower of St Teilo's Church is visible. Just beyond the castle the meadows alongside the Ewenny River (SS8877) have flooded. This is not an unusual occurrence here, and is probably a consequence of recent heavy rains.

Map of the undefined region of South Wales, following the borders of the common definitions of South East Wales and South West Wales. Ceredigion, Breconshire and Radnorshire (latter two are part of Powys) are shaded in a lighter tone as they are sometimes considered Mid Wales, but historically defined as South Wales. All areas coloured with red and pale red are the historic definition of South Wales. Other modern definitions may have a smaller definition.
