What's in a Name?

We explore some of the work being done to record the historic place names of Wales.

Ifan Jones-Evans is with James January-McCann, Place Names Officer at the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales in Aberystwyth and we join a community workshop in north Pembrokeshire.

And Megan Williams chats to Helen Nicholas in Gower about working with schools about the story of their local placenames.
