This is likely to cause confusion for the tens of thousands of visitors.
Snowdon is now to be known by its Welsh name Yr WyddfaAnd Snowdonia as a whole will also be known by its native name in the Welsh tongue – Eryri.
Snowdonia National Park Authority voted for the change, saying it was spurred to “decisive action” after 5,000 people signed a petition calling for the change. Yr Wyddfa stands at 3,560ft and attracts about 400,000 walkers a year. It is traditionally filled with people from the West Midlands, and many local authorities in our region have bases in the national park to host school trips.
The petition was instigated in response to a proposal by Councillor John Pughe Roberts to drop ‘Snowdon’ and ‘Snowdonia’ and use only the Welsh words instead.
