Highlight
It recovered its traditional Welsh name in 2023, leaving behind the colonial English name Brecon Beacons
Declared in 1957 under the English name Brecon Beacons, in 2023 the park authority officially restored its traditional Welsh name, Bannau Brycheiniog, in a gesture of cultural and national reaffirmation that was also symbolic: the word beacon referred to old military signal fires, a meaning the park authority judged no longer representative of the natural character of the place.
