Good Morning Britain host Susanna Reid said she thought it was a "joke" when she first heard that a Welsh national park was changing its name. It was announced on Monday that the Brecon Beacons National Park is to change its name so that it is officially known only by its Welsh name.
Parc Cenedlaethol Bannau Brycheiniog is the Welsh name for the park. Bannau means 'peaks' and Brycheiniog refers to the old kingdom of Wales' fifth century ruler, Brychan. The park's managers said the present name - referencing wood-burning, carbon-emitting beacons - no longer fitted the park's eco ethos, hence the rebrand. Read more about why here.
During a debate about the name change on the breakfast show co-presenter Ed Balls said: "I think Bannau Brycheiniog is going to catch on."
