Its area, the size of Wales, is about 20,779 km² Wales is bordered by England to the east and by sea in the other three directions: the Môr Hafren (Bristol Channel) to the south, St. George's Channel to the west, and the Irish Sea to the north. Altogether, Wales has over 1,200km (750 miles) of coastline. The main population and industrial areas are in South Wales, consisting of the cities of Cardiff (Caerdydd), Swansea (Abertawe) and Newport (Casnewydd) and surrounding areas. With another significant population in the north-east around Wrexham(Wrecsam).
Cardiff is the capital of Wales and an important port. The construction of the docks in 1839 by the 5th Marquis of Bute stimulated the city's growth.
