Cwmbwrla
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cwmbwrla (English: Bwrla valley) is a residential area and community of Swansea in Wales, within the Cwmbwrla ward of the city.[1] Located on rising ground about 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the city centre, it takes its name from the valley of the Burlais Brook[2] (now culverted) which flows down from here to join the River Tawe immediately northeast of Swansea railway station. The neighbouring districts are Manselton, Greenhill, Mayhill, Townhill, and Cwmdu.
