Wales

Wales is the largest of the peninsula on the western side of Britain. It consists of a complex of worn down mountain ranges representing high. They are called Cambrian Mountains. The highest and most glaciated area occurs in the north, especially around Snowdon (1.085 m) and often the mountains approach close to the sea.The Cambrians largely comprise the upland areas, generally and collectively described as the Welsh Massif. In the south the massif includes an important coal­field, on which an industrial area has grown. It is the most densely populated of 208 m/n inhabiting about one-eight of the area.Two relief divisions may be distinguished in South-Wales;1. A coastal plain which in the south-eastern part around Cardiff becomes up to 16 km wide, and2. The upland areas of the coal-field proper, which rise between 245 and 380 meters. Much of the land of Wales consists of bare rock, it produce not good enough crops. There are barren moorland and rough pasture, with only a few' people to the square kilometers. But this region constitutes the heartland of Wales, for centered upon the massif in the Welsh culture where the traditions and language of a Celtic people are best preserved in the upland areas. Sheep are the basis of the rural economy, and the low-lying parts near the coast and in the valley bottoms dairy farming predominates.

On the coast Cardiff and Newport handled the coal that came down by the valley railway.The number of working miners fell by about two-thirds and the industry lost its position as the leading employer in South Wales.

In general, Wales, which is the national outlying region of GB, faces serious social and economic problems, caused by the depression of its traditional industries. Unemployment remains high and the future of many miners and workers remains very uncertain. The Welsh Intermediate Education Act of 1889 created 95 secondary schools. The Welsh Department for the Board of Education followed in 1907, which gave Wales its first significant educational devolution.
