Abstract
A long the coast of South Wales is a series of plateaux, mostly at heights up to just over 400 feet above sea-level. They meet the coast in lines of cliffs, varied in character and often of great beauty. The most westerly area, in south and west Pembrokeshire, is the most perfectly developed, its level sky-line having been commented on by numerous writers (Dixon, 1921, p. 2; North, 1929, p. 23). The Gower peninsula, which is detached from the other coastal plateaux by Carmarthen and Swansea Bays, shows similar features, as does also the Vale of Glamorgan which stretches from the shores of Swansea Bay almost to Cardiff.Keywords
