More on West Wales
Description from Wikipedia:
West Wales (Gorllewin Cymru) is the western area of Wales bordered by South Wales to the east and Mid Wales to the north.
The area is loosely-defined, but is generally considered to include Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire and Ceredigion (together, the Preserved County of Dyfed). Swansea and Neath Port Talbot were included in the former Welsh Development Agency and ELWa West Wales regions. Since there is no formal boundary between West Wales and South Wales, it would be equally true that anywhere up to and including Swansea might also be considered to be in South Wales. There is widespread agreement that the land to the west of the Loughor bridge and the border of Swansea and Carmarthenshire is in West Wales. At this point, road signs change from English before Welsh to Welsh before English. This is because each local authority in Wales has its own policy on bilingual signage and crossing a council border can change the signage conventions and is not a significant factor in the distinction between South and West Wales.
The area includes the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. Towns in the region include Llanelli, Carmarthen, Tenby, Pembroke, Fishguard, Milford Haven, Cardigan, Aberaeron and Haverfordwest.
