'english view of welsh region' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'good area swamped by vehicle noise' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'area' becomes 'a' (maths abbreviation).
'swamped by' indicates putting letters inside.
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'noise' becomes 'din' (din can mean a loud noise or disturbance).
'g'+'a'='ga'
'car'+'din'='cardin'
'ga' put within 'cardin' is 'CARDIGAN'.
