The move will now see the landmark go by the name of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park from Monday, marking its 66th anniversary.
Park bosses highlighted the name change will also celebrate the Welsh language as well as the country's rich national heritage.The new Welsh name means "the peaks of Brychan's kingdom" and is pronounced phonetically as 'ban-aye bruch-ein-iog'.The name of the park was changed because the use of the word 'beacons' evokes wood-burning braziers - a cause of carbon emissions, was deemed contrary to the ethos of the area.
Brecon's chief executive Catherine Mealing-Jones said: "Given that we're trying to provide leadership on decarbonisation, a giant burning brazier is not a good look."
This might help... BannauBrycheiniog
Typical Welsh nationalist making it harder for tourists 🤦 Will always be Brecon beacons to me.
Common sense left this world
The Welsh eh LOL :o) I had better stop typing right there! I loved Harry Bach in Criccieth though but our path's and ages were not aligned and we were already with the loves of lives. :o)
It would be better to rename Climate Change to Climate Hoax to more accurately reflect its true nature.
So the area is being renamed over climate change as if that will make a difference. They reverted Ayers Rock to Uluru and that didn't help climate change, it's hotter than ever out there now, it's about local sensitivity so the climate doesn't come into the equation.
Can mrjamesob please research if climate change is the primary reason for name change?
And here’s how EVERYONE will say it in Cymraeg: Parc Brecon…😉
Not interested.
It's quite obvious that there's too many ppl doing nothing in their jobs on council areas, coming up with stupid things like this, it's the same all over the uk and time for a cull in lots of non jobs on high wages and large pensions.
Brecon Beacons National Park has been renamed over climate change links - here's how you pronounce it (Brecon Beacons National Park)
I’ll admit I’m no expert on the place at all, and granted sourcing Wikipedia but if the above is true all that’s happened is you have erased its history based upon an assumption it encourages people to burn. Absolutely mad.
It’s pronounced ‘Brecon’.
It's pronounced 'Brecon Beacons'
Some people are so bored with their cushdy life they actually not only think of it but go through with it ffs
The state of the comments 'I don't like change' 😂
I've been visiting the Brecon Beacons for more than 40 years. I will not go again. Woke bollocks.
It will always be Brecon Beacons nomatter what some lefty liberal woke numpty wants to call it
It's Brecon Beacons ffs, I'm ex Army and il always know it as such
It has more to do with the Welsh not re-naming it but returning it to a former name!
BREK ON BEE KONZ....
Pronounced ‘Fuk off’.
It’s not being renamed they are just dropping the English for it.
I pronounce it Brecon Beacons
Always just call it the Brecon beacons. The name change is totally unacceptable and done without any consultation. its all part of an anti English language agenda being driven by welsh language fascists.
Oh yes, I've got my tongue around it. Took a little practice.. Brecon Beacons.. sounds good!
Here’s comes the invasion, light the beacon. We can’t, think of the pollution !
Are we seriously suggesting lighting a few beacons has caused climate change ?
I pronounce it ‘The Brecon Beacons’ 😁👍🏻
