Swansea (Welsh: Abertawe, "mouth of the Tawe") is a city and county in Wales. Swansea is in the historic county boundaries of Glamorgan. Situated on the South Wales coast, the county area includes the Gower peninsula and the Lliw uplands. Swansea is the third most populous county in Wales after Cardiff and Rhondda Cynon Taff; and the second most populous city in Wales after Cardiff.
The "City and County of Swansea" local authority area is bordered by unitary authorities of Carmarthenshire to the north, and Neath Port Talbot to the east. Swansea is bounded by Swansea Bay and the Bristol Channel to the south.
Physical description
It includes a large amount of open countryside and a central urban and suburban belt.
Swansea can be roughly divided into four physical areas. To the north are
the Lliw uplands which are mainly open moorland, reaching the foothills of the
Black Mountain. To the west is the Gower peninsula with its rural landscape dotted
with small villages. To the east is the coastal strip around Swansea Bay. Cutting
though the middle from the south-east to the north-west is the urban and suburban
zone stretching from the Swansea city centre to the towns of Gorseinon and Pontarddulais.

The most populated areas of Swansea are Morriston, Sketty and the city centre. The chief urbanised area radiates from the city centre towards the north, south and west; along the coast of Swansea Bay to Mumbles; up the Swansea Valley past Landore and Morriston to Clydach; over Townhill to Cwmbwrla, Penlan, Treboeth and Fforestfach; through Uplands, Sketty, Killay to Dunvant; and east of the river from St. Thomas to Bonymaen, Llansamlet and Birchgrove. A second urbanised area is focused on a triangle defined by Gowerton, Gorseinon and Loughor along with the satellite communities of Penllergaer and Pontarddulais.
About three quarters of Swansea is bordered by the seathe Loughor Estuary, Swansea Bay and the Bristol Channel. The two largest rivers in the region are the Tawe which passes the city centre and the Loughor which flows on the northern border with Carmarthenshire.
In the local authority area, the geology is complex, providing diverse scenery. The Gower peninsula was the first area in the United Kingdom to be designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). Excluding the urbanised area in the south eastern corner of the county, the whole of the Gower peninsula is part of an AONB. Swansea has numerous urban and country parklands. The region has featured regularly in the Wales in Bloom awards.
The geology of the Gower peninsula ranges from carboniferous limestone cliffs along its southern edge from Mumbles to Worm's Head and the salt-marshes and dune systems of the Loughor estuary to the north. The eastern, southern and western coasts of the peninsula are lined with numerous sandy beaches both wide and small, separated by steep cliffs. The South Wales Coalfield reaches the coast in the Swansea area. This had a great bearing on the development of the city of Swansea and other towns in the county like Morriston. The inland area is covered by large swathes of grassland common overlooked by sandstone heath ridges including the prominent Cefn Bryn. The traditional agricultural landscape consists in a patchwork of fields characterised by walls, stone faced banks and hedgerows. Valleys cut through the peninsula and contain rich deciduous woodland.
Much of the
county is hilly with the main area of upland being located in the council ward
of Mawr. Areas of high land up to 185 metres range across the central section
of the county and form the hills of Kilvey, Townhill and Llwynmawr, separating
the centre of Swansea from its northern suburbs. Cefn Bryn, a ridge of high land,
forms the backbone of the Gower peninsula. Rhossili Down, Hardings Down and Llanmadoc
Hill form land features over 600 ft high. The highest point of the county is located
at Penlle'r Castell at 374 metres on the northern border with Carmarthenshire.
