  Vale of Glamorgan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vale of Glamorgan (Welsh: Dyffryn (or Bro) Morgannwg) is an exceptionally rich agricultural area in the southern part of Glamorgan, Wales.
The liassic limestone is also used in the vale for building materials; in previous centuries it was taken by sloops across the Bristol Channel to north Cornish ports such as Bude, Boscastle and Port Issac to fertilise Cornwall's poor slate soils for the farming communities.
The district borders Cardiff, Rhondda Cynon Taff and Bridgend to the north, and the Bristol Channel to the south.
