	This area encompasses the rural mainly upland area located ~~southeast~~ of the Welsh Borderland Fault, bounded on its southern margin by the edge of the South Wales Coalfield with the eastern boundary located along the Welsh Border. Much of this area comprises a series of steep escarpments such as Mynydd Epynt and the Brecon Beacons, with intervening slopes forming rolling farm land. There are few large settlements, the main towns include Brecon and Abergavenny.
