The highest mountain in England and Wales is...Yr Wyddfa. Authorities rename Snowdon after 1,000 years following a petition signed by 5,000 people
Head of the Park's cultural heritage Naomi Jones said Welsh names were part of the area's "special qualities".
"We have historic names in both languages, but we are eager to consider the message we wish to convey about place names, and the role they have to play in our current cultural heritage by promoting the Welsh language as one of the National Park’s special qualities," she said. "By referring to our most renowned landmarks by their Welsh names we give people from all over the world the opportunity to engage with the Welsh language and its rich culture."Around 400,000 walkers visit Yr Wyddfa each year, to scale its 3,560ft peak and enjoy stunning views of the National Park.
He said people were "complaining that people are changing house names, rock names, renaming the mountains".Devon Council takes Home Office to court to stop third hotel being used to house migrantsPolice hunt man armed with kitchen knife who tried to rob woman at home in London while she carried her child
