Southwest Wales

[mona lisa]

 Which counties would be in Southwest Wales ?

Hi,

Pembrokeshire is THE most south-westerly county; Carmarthenshire is quite often included as being part of the south-west. That's my opinion so now I'll wait for everybody else's opinion! 

Regards,
Lee.

Hi Mona,
         S-W Wales is a rather vague term, probably most useful for weather-forecasts; I would agree with Lee that Carmarthenshire should be included, and most people with local knowledge I think would include Cardiganshire (now Ceredigion), which from 1974 to 1996 with Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire formed the county of Dyfed, for which see Wikipedia.

Thanks for that  information! Is Swansea considered  S Wales?

Hi Mona,
        If you live in North Wales (or the rest of the UK), yes; in the south the western parts are called west Wales, which has one meaning only. Only a native can give you a definitive answer . . . Anybody there?

Not sure I would describe Swansea as West Wales, but perhaps rather than answering the question we should be asking why you're asking?

Kind regards, Arranroots

Swansea is most certainly south. The BBC  consider it south-west.  As a former inhabitant, I'd say there's still a lot of Wales to the west of Swansea, but it's definitely not east!

Thanks again for the reply.

As another former inhabitant, I'd agree!

Mona you still haven't said why you're asking - maybe we can help more if we know what the issue is?
