Welsh for Snowdon
The Welsh for Snowdon is "Yr Wyddfa"
Snowdon in Welsh is Yr Wyddfa, the highest mountain in Wales at 1,085 metres (3,560 feet) above sea level. It is also the highest point in the British Isles outside the Scottish Highlands. It is located in Snowdonia National Park. Snowdonia is a region in northwest Wales concentrated around the mountains within the Snowdonia National Park.
Since 2022, the National Park Authority decided to only use 'Yr Wyddfa' when referring to Wales' highest mountain and "Eryri" for Snowdonia - protecting the names for future generations.

You may be interested to know that a popular question asked of us is, "what does Cwtch, cwtches or cwtching mean"? (Cwtch is pronounced as in "butch" in English). Perhaps literally, it means to cuddle or to hug and in that regard, there is a saying, "anyone can cuddle but only the Welsh can cwtch". It does have another meaning is a cubbyhole or cupboard; a small space in which to store things safely, such as an under stairs cupboard. Often heard, "give me a cwtch", or "they are cwtching", it should make anybody feel safe, warm and comforted.
