The purpose of this data capture was to geographically distinguish different regions in Wales in terms of landscape identity and what characteristics and qualities make one region different and distinct from another. These distinctions and policy drivers for this project are described, together with an illustrated narrative, and published on Natural Resources Wales (NRW's) website. This dataset covers 100% of terrestrial Wales including inter-tidal areas. Boundary data derived from source data 2007-2008 with the final version being amended October 2008.
