Regions of Wales
North Wales Several holiday destinations located along the coast, but primarily a rural area.
Mid Wales A sparsely populated mountainous region with a coastal area facing the Irish Sea.
South Wales The South is the most industrialised region, containing some large urban areas especially in the eastern part, but the western part is more rural and includes some stunning coastal scenery.
