East Wales

East Wales (Welsh: Dwyrain Cymru) is a geographical sub-division and a International Territory Level Two (ITL 2) statistical region of Wales. It generally encompasses the easternmost parts of the country, and further sub-divided into four ITL 3 regions– Monmouthshire and Newport, Cardiff and Vale of Glamorgan, Flintshire and Wrexham, Powys.

Various organizations in Wales use various methodologies to sub-divide territory, and most of them use a North–South divide. The East-West divide is generally used by the Office for National Statistics, and sporting organizations such as the Welsh Athletics.
