To aid map navigation, Wales has been split into the following three regions:
	Central Wales is a mountainous region, with the raised plateau of the Cambrian Mountains extending north south through the region. The heather covered Brecon Beacons National Park is located to the east in southern Powys, and the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park covers the undulating landscape to the west. The tiny city of St Davids, with a population of less than 2000, is located in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
	North Wales has some lowland areas around its coast, including the island of Anglesey, but is predominantly mountainous. Snowdonia National Park occupies much of Gwynedd and Conwy, and most of the landscape around Wrexham and Denbighshire is rugged, hilly moorland. There are no cities in this region of Wales.
	South Wales is mainly hilly in the north, but has a fertile lowland area along the south facing coastline. Being somewhat flatter than the rest of the country, South Wales is more urbanised than the north. Cardiff is the capital and an important administrative, commercial, and industrial centre, as well as the principle sea port. Swansea, also a major port, is the second largest city in Wales, followed by Newport.
