Llandaff Cathedral in Wales plans to build an oyster-shaped visitor center. Wales has several mountain ranges including Snowdonia in the north which contains Snowdon, the highest peak. The Black Mountains are located in the eastern part of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The Cambrian Mountains in mid-Wales have only one main road crossing them and are remote. The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park follows the coast in western Wales. The valleys north of Cardiff and towns like Merthyr Tydfil were historically home to coal miners and industries but now have smaller populations.

Coal
The document discusses the history of coal, rubber, and oil industries in Brunei between 1883-1924. It notes that coal mining concessions were granted in 1883 and produced over 652,000 tonnes of coal by 1888-1924. The discovery of oil in 1899 near Kg. Ayer Berkunchi led to the oil industry, which became more profitable than coal. The boom in these extractive industries increased jobs and population in Muara, leading to more infrastructure like shops, roads, and postal services to support the growing town. However, the coal industry declined after World War I as prices became unstable and oil from Pulau Berambang was discovered to be more profitable.
Castle combe-village
Castle Combe Village has been called "The Prettiest Village in England" due to its picturesque small streets and stone cottages. The village has a long history, beginning as a British hill fort occupied by the Romans and Normans, who built a castle on the site. In the Middle Ages, the village in the valley became an important center for the wool industry, with spinsters and weavers living in cottages powered by the By Brook river. Today, Castle Combe remains a quintessential Cotswolds village of stone houses with thick walls and roofs of natural stone tiles, located 12 miles from Bath amid other historically significant sites.

Cultural stereotypes that developed over time include views of Northerners as unintelligent and uncultured and the North as dreary and industrial compared to a sophisticated South.

This is to let viewers to have a very brief glimpse of how some Norwegian live. The more I learn about the Norwegian people and their culture, the more I have my respect for them The natural beauty and their struggles with nature is part of their soul.
South Wales Part I The Valleys
The coal and iron/steel industries prospered in the Valleys of South Wales in the 19th and early 20th centuries due to accessible raw materials and a large workforce. These industries declined later in the 20th century as Britain's empire declined, raw materials became exhausted, and foreign competition increased. Coal is no longer Britain's primary energy source, and the small steel works in the Valleys were inefficient compared to larger, integrated coastal plants.
