Can anyone tell me the name of this place please? I can read Breconshire but not beyond that.

Think I'll have to try and get me tongue around some of these place names, in respect to my Welsh ancestors!

Welsh is a very phonetic language (so my 84 year old cousin tells me!) -  as long as you know how y, ch, ll , rh, etc. are pronounced in the first place!

I was lucky by being born there and having kin who were fluent and I had to do compulsory Welsh in secondary school  Cheesy
