Tafarn y Botel (SH 404 838)
There has been a Significant Name Change to a hill that is listed in The Welsh P15s, with the summit height, bwlch height and their locations, the drop and status of the hill derived from detail on contemporary maps produced from Ordnance Survey data.
The criteria for the list that this name change applies to
are:
The Welsh
P15s – Welsh hills with 15m
minimum drop, irrespective of their height, with an accompanying sub list entitled the Welsh Sub-P15s,
with the criteria for this sub category being all Welsh hills with 14m or more
and below 15m of drop. The list is authored by Myrddyn Phillips, with the
Introduction to the list appearing on Mapping Mountains on the 10th
