South West Wales is a region of Wales composed of the counties of Carmarthenshire and Pembrokeshire, which are the most visited places in the area. Carmarthenshire has been dubbed the Garden of Wales because of its green landscape while Pembrokeshire boasts miles upon miles of coastline. It is famous for the Millennium Coastal Park, the only one of its kind in Great Britain. South West Wales is home to many castles that were constructed in the 12th to 13th centuries. South West Wales is sparsely populated during winter, but it comes alive with tourists during the summer season. Coasteering is a popular outdoor activity, along with hiking and rock climbing.
