Located in the north east of Wales bordering England to the west and the Irish sea to the north this area has a varied character, largely dictated to by the geography of the region. Along the western reaches of the Irish sea coast there are a string of tourist centres which tend to attract holidaymakers from the north west of England, an increasing number of whom are now able to commute thanks to improved road and rail links.

The areas further to the south of the region and those nearer to Merseyside have traditionally been more concerned with industry. The coal seams found there allowed for the production of iron and shipbuilding, more common now are chemical refineries which litter the coast up to Deeside and light industry which is largely centred on Wrexham, the largest town in the region.

Area. 938 square miles (2,430 square km).

Pop. (1991 prelim.) 401,900.
