The Swansea district extends from east Gower and Llanelli in the west to Port Talbot and Neath in the east, the city of Swansea occupying the central part. Pennant sandstones of the Warwickshire Group underlie most of the district, Coal Measures occupy the drift-covered coastal area from Swansea Bay eastwards and limestones of the Pembroke Limestone Group crop out in the Gower. Upper Old Red Sandstone quartz pebble conglomerates of Late Devonian age forming the core of the Cefn Bryn Anticline in Gower are the oldest exposed rocks in the district. The youngest strata are Triassic mudstones present in a small drift-covered outcrop in the south-east.
