Notes

When a name contains the name of another area, settlement or prominent geographical feature, the name of the area, settlement or prominent geographical feature should be capitalised.

The hyphen is used when the Welsh definite article (y/yr) occurs before a final monosyllablic element; hyphens are used before and after the definite article in order to indicate the individual elements and aid pronunciation.
