A beautiful region of Wales for cycling; Welshman cycles (9)

I believe the answer is:

swaledale

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a beautiful region' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'wales for cycling welshman cycles' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'wales' is 'swale' which is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'dale' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for swaledale that I've seen before include "Sheep breed; Yorks. valley" , "Yorkshire valley - breed of sheep" .)
