This cool map shows the rurality of Wales. Unsurprisingly, we are overwhelmingly rural! I have enlarged the key and some other aspects of the map, so hopefully it comes across well on your phones.
What Does the Map Show?
There’s an awful lot of red in the southeast but this is also unsurprising, considering the big cities here and their industrial roles.
I am from one of the areas up north and this is, again, unsurprisingly red given that these areas, for a long time, relied heavily on holidaymakers.
