In Wales there are two geoparks: Fforest Fawr and GeoMon. The Fforest Fawr UNESCO Global Geopark is located in South Wales, UK, in the west of the Brecon Beacons National Park. It bridges the transition from rural mid-Wales to the industrial valleys of south Wales. GeoMon is an island (Isle of Anglesey) in the Irish Sea about 78 km from Ireland and is linked by two bridges 250 metres long from the Welsh mainland. It comprises two islands, Anglesey and Holy Island which includes the main British port to Ireland, Holyhead. The UNESCO Global Geopark boundary coincides exactly to the mean low tide level along the entire coast that encompasses the island.
