Mid Wales is the name given to the area of Wales between North Wales and South Wales . It borders England via the Welsh Marches to the east and the Irish Sea via Cardigan Bay to the west ( West Wales is to the south-west). The region approximately consists of the Principal Areas of Ceredigion and Powys , or the Traditional Counties of Brecknockshire , Cardiganshire , Montgomeryshire and Radnorshire . Mid Wales is also sometimes said to include Merionethshire . Mid Wales is dominated by the remote Cambrian Mountains which run down the centre of the area including the area known as the Desert Of Wales . It is sparsely populated, with most settlements being situated to the east of the mountains, including Builth Wells , Welshpool , and Newtown . There are also a few towns on the coast, most notably Aberystwyth , the ''de facto'' capital of the region. For many purposes Wales can be divided into only three regions, North Wales , South Wales and West Wales . In this scenario, the Mid Wales region is divided, with Brecknockshire and Radnorshire being included in South Wales, Ceredigion/Cardiganshire in West Wales and Montgomeryshire and Merionethshire included in North Wales.
