Despite the name, the Annales Cambriae record not only events in Wales, but also events in Ireland, Cornwall, England, Scotland and sometimes further afield, though the focus of the events recorded especially in the later two-thirds of the text is Wales.
Unatoč imenu, bilješke se ne odnose samo na Wales, nego i šire: Irsku, Cornwall, Englesku, Škotsku te ponekad i dalje, iako žarištem događaja zabilježenih u njima su dvjema trećinama u Walesu.
