Help with place name needed please

[Drosybont]

Thanks, Gadget, I should have included a link to the map because that's where I saw the name, but was distracted by the first of this year's osprey eggs at Dyfi and the volcanic eruption in Iceland!

Pembrokeshire is the only Welsh county that I've not visited but with my Welsh roots, I knew whatever was written on the cert, it should be Pen yr allt.

it should be Pen yr allt.

Which means  . I am no good at the Welsh Language

I only have distant Pembrokeshire roots and I have never been there.  My 4xgt grandmother escaped and came to Kent

Don't worry, Rosie -

I was born there, lived there for the first 18 years of my life, half of my kin spoke fluent Welsh and I had to study Welsh in school.

Learning Welsh when young is the best way to do it.   I do hope to return to Wales when life is 'normal'

There are many of them in Wales. It just means the top/head of the wooded slope.  Notice that the map has lots of tree symbol around Pen yr allt



PS - my connection is playing up - and dros y bont means over the bridge 

[rosie99]

Thank you, that does make sense 

[Drosybont]

Yes, apologies, 'y' instead of 'yr' was a typo.  Volcano and osprey distraction, as I said.

'dros y bont' is sometimes used colloquially to mean travelling to England ie across Severn Bridge, or more generally leaving Wales for England.  My situation having grown up in north Wales and now living in north east England.
