Work is underway to standardise the names of waterfalls and peaks in Eryri. It comes on the back of a list produced by the Welsh Language Commissioner to do the same with the national park's lakes.

The Welsh names of over 200 lakes have been cemented in stone as a result of the project. The aim is to ensure “correct” names, with standardised spellings and pronunciations, are used not just in everyday conversations but also on maps and in print.

It's not uncommon for Welsh place names to be spelt incorrectly on maps, but when it comes to Eryri, some names have come under pressure from their English language alternatives. The most egregious example perhaps being Llyn Bochlwyd beneath Tryfan and Glyder Fach. Some English guidebooks and websites refer to the lake as “Lake Australia”, the shape of the country it is said to resemble when viewed from above.

To generate the standardised list of lake names, Eryri NPA worked with Cardiff University and the Welsh Language Commissioner. It was a pilot project that will, over the coming years, see the names other topological features can be enshrined. Work is underway already on standardising a list of names for the national park’s waterfalls and peaks.

Here are 25 topological features in Eryri whose Welsh names are in line to be reclaimed from English under this project:
