List of dune systems of Wales explained

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]
