Regional Overview
We are split into distinctive areas, each with their own character and charm.
The areas of Blaenau Gwent, Torfaen, Caerphilly, Merthyr and Rhondda Cynon Taf are well known for their history and heritage, whilst nearby Monmouthshire is more rural and famed for its fabulous food and drink.
Newport and Cardiff are thriving cities with some world class attractions whilst along Bridgend and the Vale of Glamorgan is a mix of coastal resorts, market towns and fabulous countryside.
Why not drop by and experience it for yourself.
Travelling to South Wales
Compact and easily accessible Southern Wales is only 2 hours down the M4 from London whilst Birmingham and the West Midlands are only an hour or so from our borders.
Southern Wales enjoys exceptional road links via the M4 (from London and South East England) and the M50/M5 (from the Midlands and North) ensuring that much of Britain, including gateway airports and ferry terminals, are within a 3-hour drive.
A comprehensive road system links all the major towns, while many towns and villages are well served by the local train network which connects with the mainline stations. For more information on getting to, and around Southern Wales visit Travel Line Cymru
