	Geography of Wales - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wales borders England to the east and the sea in the other three directions: the Bristol Channel to the south, St George's Channel to the west, and the Irish Sea to the north.
		The main population and industrial areas are in South Wales, consisting of the cities of Cardiff, Swansea and Newport and surrounding areas.
		The modern border between Wales and England is highly arbitrary; it was largely defined by the Laws in Wales Acts 1535-1542, based on mediæval feudal boundaries.

		Supported by the University of Wales, Gregynog Colloquium Fund, the meeting was academically stimulating and allowed the sharing of experience and research expertise between the constituent institutions.

		At the end of the Silurian, earth movements culminated in the Caledonian orogeny, a major period of uplift, folding and fracturing which partly destroyed the marine trough.
