Welsh Village With a Tongue-Twisting Name
For the Geo Quiz we are looking for a town with a name that is difficult to spell.
That is the dilemma for the small Welsh village located in north Wales within Snowdonia National Park.
Many visitors cannot pronounce the town and hence cannot search for it on the Internet, which, the local tourism officials say, is a problem.
Betws-y-Coed is the answer to the Geo Quiz.
Anchor Lisa Mullins talks to Eileen Burton-Wood, a local of the village.
