Contents
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.
