    Super video .unlike Webbys comment above .ita much easier for me being Scottish to pronounce the ll sound .same as we say locccchhhh. Ive been all over Wales either playing golf or walking Wales Coast Path and always try my best to get the pronunciations right on my videos. Even learnt Llanfair PG...Gogogoch the night before. Tou missed the Welsh F is pronounced as a V. Llanfairfechan was my first experience of that. Anyways very entertaining video.

Ahh Llandudno is just epic, but seriously WILLS... how the F did you manage the longest name one? Even my Welsh friends can't do that haha!! Love all the facts, the scenery and everything there is to offer you've managed to amazingly pop into this video, always always look forward to your videos, thank you Wills and Rach, when i visit Wales this year I'll feel a little more confident in pronouncing them hehe :D

    Weird. It is almost like it is a foreign language. I hate to admit but I was LLing and DDing and CHing along with you. I haven't had me gob full of that much spit since... a long time ago. Heck, I almost swallowed. Harden reminded me of a bit from Monty Python's Meaning of Life. Poor ol' Gellert didn't have two dicks did he. Poor pupper.

    This is super helpful! I stayed at Gladstone Library in Hawarden last year (will pass through again next month) and had no idea of the correct pronunciation. You basically don’t touch on the “w” in Welsh words? How would you pronounce Trefriw? “Trev ri”?

      Hawarden is actually the English word - it's Penerlag in Welsh. We just think it's funny and it's so often pronounced wrong! I think the closest phonetic saying of Trefriw I can give is Trev roo!! Thanks so much for watching our video and taking time to comment. Cheers 🍻
