Glamorgan (Welsh: Sir Morgannwg) is a traditional county in south [[Wales]]. It includes the two largest cities in Wales, [[Cardiff]] and [[Swansea]], an area of rich lowland agricultural countryside, and upland valleys formerly famous for the mining of [[coal]]. The county lies on the north shore of the [[Bristol Channel]]. In 1974 Glamorgan was divided into three new counties: Mid, South and West Glamorgan. In 1996 local government boundaries in the area were further redrawn, dividing Glamorgan into a number of Unitary Authorities.
