Yr Wyddfa, Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales, at an elevation of 1,085 metres (3,560 feet) above sea level, and the highest point in the British Isles outside the Scottish Highlands. It is located in Snowdonia National Park in Gwynedd.
Since 2022, the National Park Authority decided to only use 'Yr Wyddfa' when referring to Wales' highest summit and "Eryri" for Snowdonia - protecting the name for future generations.

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.
