Most of the hundreds of thousands of visitors who hike to the top of Wales’s highest mountain each year know it as Snowdon. But a task group is to examine whether this English moniker should be ditched and only its Welsh name – Yr Wyddfa – used.
A motion was brought by the county councillor John Pughe Roberts calling for the Snowdonia National Park Authority to refer to the mountain only by its Welsh name and also to drop “Snowdonia” in favour of the Welsh Eryri.
Roberts told the Guardian on Thursday he felt it was important that old Welsh placenames were not lost, and the park authority needed to set an example. “If you lose the old names, you lose the heritage, you lose all the things that lie behind that name. If you lose the name, you lose an important part of the history of the area.”
