+Glamorgan is a coastal county in South Wales.
+'''Towns:''' Cardiff, Swansea
+'''Industry:''' Agriculture, fishing, coal mining
+Glamorgan is, commercially, the most important county in Wales, chiefly owing to its great mineral resources.
+The heritage coast and surrounding countryside has much to offer including the remains of Candleston Castle which lies on the edge of Sahara-like sand dunes where parts of the movie ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ were filmed.
+Five miles from Cardiff lies the tiny island of Flat Holm, a nature reserve which acted as a sanctuary for Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, silver miners and smugglers. It was fortified in Victorian times and is most famous for receiving the first trans-Atlantic radio message sent by Marconi in 1897.
