West Wales (Welsh: Gorllewin Cymru) is the western region of Wales.
Some definitions of West Wales include only Pembrokeshire, Ceredigion and Carmarthenshire, an area which historically comprised the Welsh principality of Deheubarth,[1][2] an area called "South West Wales" in the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics.[3] Other definitions include Swansea and Neath Port Talbot, but exclude Ceredigion.[4][5] The 'West Wales and the Valleys' NUTS (The Nomenclature of Units for Territorial Statistics) area includes more westerly parts of North Wales.[3] The preserved county of Dyfed covers what is generally considered to be "West Wales", which between 1974 and 1996, was also a county with a county council and six district councils.
Historic use of the term [edit]
Historically, the term West Wales was applied to the Kingdom of Cornwall during the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain and the period of the Heptarchy.[6] The Old English word Wealas, meaning "foreigners" in the sense of Britons, gave its name to Wales, and was also applied to Cornwall, as "West Wealas" meaning Western foreigners.
