Swansea Bay

Encyclopedia Article

Swansea Bay, widemouthed inlet, West Glamorgan, South Wales, up to 32 km (20 mi) wide and located between the Gower Peninsula and the Bristol Channel. The River Tawe joins the bay at Swansea. Low-lying areas were worn down and partly destroyed by denudation (see Erosion), then drowned by postglacial submergence to form the inlet. Timber, iron, and tin are imported here.
