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 Village’ (in the Village) or ‘mynd i’r Village’ (going to the Village).
