Spotlight on Major Areas of South Wales

Cardiff
Cardiff is the capital of Wales and is the tenth largest city in the United Kingdom. Cardiff is known as being a tourist centre, with 18.3 million visitors in 2010, making it the most popular tourist destination in Wales. It is also ranked sixth in the world in terms of tourist destinations. Cardiff is home to the Millennium Stadium, the SWALEC Stadium and Cardiff City Stadium amongst many others, and as a result was awarded with the European City of Sport in 2009 and then again in 2014.

Four in ten of the city’s workforce are daily commuters from the surrounding South Wales area. Commuters travel from all areas to get to Cardiff, with trains running from almost all locations within the UK to Cardiff. For visitors travelling from London, the Great Western Railway operates an hourly train service from London Paddington which takes just two hours.
Cardiff is the perfect destination for nature lovers, with its parks, mountains and castles all around. It’s small and easy to navigate, and is cleaned till it is spotless after all sports events!

Glamorgan
The Vale of Glamorgan is known for its dramatic landscape, with sunny beach resorts in Barry Island and Porthcawl surrounded by coastal countryside and green hills. For a look into the history of Glamorgan, you can visit Coity Castle to see the ruins of a Norman Castle which was built by a knight during the 12th century.

The coastline of Glamorgan is 88 miles long and stretches from Trowbridge in the east to Gower in the west. Gower is said to be one of the most beautiful beaches in Britain, and is an ideal place to move to if you enjoy walks along the beach and a stunning morning view. Along this coast you can see both immense cliffs and sandy dunes, but if you live further inland within Glamorgan then you can expect to see major rivers such as the Taff, the Ely, the Ogmore, the Neath and many more.

Swansea is a coastal city within Glamorgan which is situated on the sandy South West Wales coast. Swansea has plenty of activities to enjoy whilst you live here, including plays, festivals and sports matches.

Monmouthshire can be found between the Brecon Beacons National Park and the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The stunning landscape will take your breath away, as will the castles, mountains, views and food.

Within Monmouthshire you can ride bikes, play golf, learn to paddleboard, visit the market and learn more about the history. Monmouthshire is a relaxed place to live, but has huge amounts of activities for those who enjoy keeping busy, with over 1000 miles of public footbaths to walk.
