Notes

Definite article

Although it is expected that a single form including the English definite article (the) be displayed on signage, it is more natural to use the Welsh definite article (y/yr) when writing this name within a Welsh sentence, e.g. ‘yn y Moor’ (in the Moor) or ‘mynd i’r Moor’ (going to the Moor).
