Editing Dyfed (section)

==Geography==
Dyfed has a long coast on the Irish Sea to the west and the [[Bristol Channel]] to the south. It is bounded by the preserved counties of [[Gwynedd]] to the north, [[Powys]] to the east and [[West Glamorgan]] to the southeast.

[[Ceredigion]], the northernmost part of Dyfed, has a narrow coastal strip and the [[Cambrian Mountains]] cover much of the east of the county. The highest point is [[Plynlimon]] at {{convert|752|m|ft}},<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bing.com/maps?osid=d54f8dd9-afd2-483f-a48f-283007c9a502&cp=52.464539~-3.791991&lvl=15&style=s&imgid=30c54e80-6fd9-4f5b-a820-a310a5b3bb6d&v=2&sV=2&form=S00027|title = Maps}}</ref> on the slopes of which five rivers have their sources: the [[River Severn|Severn]], the [[River Wye|Wye]], the [[River Dulas|Dulas]], the [[Afon Llyfnant|Llyfnant]] and the [[Afon Rheidol|Rheidol]], the first two of which flow eastwards into England and the last three of which flow westwards to the Irish Sea. Further south in Ceredigion the land is less mountainous, and the [[River Teifi]] forms the border with Carmarthenshire for part of its length.<ref name=Atlas>{{cite book |title=Atlas of the World |last=Philip's |year=1994 |publisher=Reed International |isbn=0-540-05831-9 |pages=16–17 }}</ref>

Carmarthenshire, the southeastern part of Dyfed, is mostly hilly, except for the river valleys and coastal strip. [[Fforest Fawr]] and [[Black Mountain (range)|Black Mountain]] extend into the east of Carmarthenshire and the [[Cambrian Mountains]] into the north. The highest point in Carmarthenshire is [[Fan Foel]], {{convert|781|m|ft}},<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bing.com/maps?osid=76d1b025-89df-4a76-9dc5-5a174488f6b1&cp=51.88197~-3.710071&lvl=16&style=s&v=2&sV=2&form=S00027|title=Maps}}</ref> on the border with Powys. The [[River Towy]] is the largest river and drains into the Bristol Channel, as do  the [[River Loughor]], the [[River Gwendraeth]] and the [[River Taf]]. Carmarthenshire has a long coastline which is deeply cut by the estuaries of the Loughor, Gwendraeth, Tywi and Taf. The south coast has many fishing villages and sandy beaches and the eastern part around [[Llanelli]] and [[Burry Port]] is more industrial.<ref name=Atlas/>

Pembrokeshire, the southwestern part of Dyfed, juts out into the Irish Sea and has a long, much indented, coastline. It does not have the mountains found in other parts of Dyfed but much of the interior is still hilly. In the north are the [[Preseli Hills]] (Mynydd Preseli), a wide stretch of high [[moorland]]. The highest point in the Preseli Hills is [[Foel Cwmcerwyn]] at {{convert|536|m|ft}},<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bing.com/maps?osid=7fec71c1-8601-42cb-b23a-f43758c830d8&cp=51.94568~-4.778182&lvl=16&style=s&v=2&sV=2&form=S00027|title=Maps}}</ref> and this is the highest point in Pembrokeshire. The largest river is the [[River Cleddau]] which has two main branches which join to form the Daugleddau estuary, which forms the important harbour of Milford Haven which enters the sea at the southwestern corner of the county. The areas around the River Cleddau are mainly level, low-lying land with many inlets and creeks. The coastline of Pembrokeshire has cliffs in places, and numerous [[bay]]s and sandy beaches.<ref name=Atlas/> The county contains the [[Pembrokeshire Coast National Park]], which contains the {{convert|186|mi|km|0|abbr=off|adj=on}} walking trail, the [[Pembrokeshire Coast Path]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/trail.asp?PageId=33 |title=Pembrokeshire Coast Path |publisher=Nationaltrail.co.uk. |access-date=1 May 2016 |archive-date=17 August 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130817224247/http://nationaltrail.co.uk/trail.asp?PageId=33 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
