Yr Wyddfa y Copa o Eryri: Petition to use Welsh name for Snowdonia National Park

Following a petition that received over 5000 signatures, the National Park in Eryri was spurred to take action to use the Welsh names of Eryri (Snowdonia) and Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) as the primary names in both English and Welsh context. 

This is a decision that is hoped will continue to share the culture and language that Wales is so deeply proud of. This is a hugely positive step that the BMC supports with its own development of a Welsh Language policy.

Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) is the highest mountain in Wales at 1085m and attracts between 350,000 and 400,000 visitors a year. This change will hopefully continue to share the Welsh language with visitors from all over the world and to continue to share the culture that goes with it.

For further information visit the national park website.
