List of dune systems of Wales information


This is a list of dune systems around the Welsh coast.[1][2] Wales' dune systems are of interest to geomorphologists and ecologists as both landforms and ecosystems. Individual systems are referred to variously as warren, burrows or 'morfa' (Welsh plural: morfeydd) which signifies a 'sea-marsh' or 'salt-marsh', the two landforms typically existing alongside one another.[3]
