>> Cardiff accent and a Swansea accent
I'd say Cardiff and Swansea have quite different accents and the Welsh accent gets stronger the further west and north you go. I had a strong Welsh valleys accent when I got to Manchester as a student in 1989. I gradually changed and it's a bit Manchester I guess now. At times I say something that makes people realise I am Welsh in the way I occasionally pronounce things.
We had a lot of teachers with strong Welsh accents from all over Wales - but I did go to a Welsh bilingual school.
