The exact extent of the area is loosely-defined, but incorporates the cities of Cardiff and Newport, the South Wales Valleys (and the Brecon Beacons National Park), and Monmouthshire. The western border of the region is sometimes defined to include Swansea (though the city is more commonly considered to be part of West Wales). The northern boundary is usually taken as Builth Wells or the border of Powys.
