Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire and the City and County
of Swansea. The region also takes in the Pembrokeshire
Coast National Park and parts of the Brecon Beacons
National Park.
Characterised by its wealth of natural assets,
the region's core appeal as a tourist destination
consists of a superb and varied coastline of designated
scenic beauty and attractive rural inland areas
ranging from moor land and valleys to lush hedgerows
and river meadows and diverse wildlife. The built
environment forms a complementary attraction for
visitors, equally diverse as the natural; historic
properties and landscapes, picturesque villages
and small market towns with intrinsic visitor
appeal, coastal resorts and the vigor of Swansea’s
maritime city status.
