Wales’ Tallest Mountain Embraces Welsh Identity with Name Change Success
The Eryri National Park Authority has confirmed that Wales’ tallest mountain will continue to be known as Yr Wyddfa, following a successful transition from its English name, Snowdon. Since November 2022, all official communications have utilized the Welsh names. Recent surveys indicated widespread approval from both locals and visitors, though some expressed concerns about pronunciation and awareness of the traditional names. This initiative reflects a growing appreciation for Welsh heritage and culture within the national park.
