Recently, 47 schools across the county participated in virtual workshops to create GIFs of popular places in Pembrokeshire.
The project aimed to uncover the fascinating meanings behind place names around the locality.
Place names hold a wealth of information. They reveal geographical features, history, and even the people who settled in Wales, like the Romans and the Vikings. For example, Pembrokeshire has place names influenced by the Vikings, such as Skomer Island and Skokholm Island.

The pupils had great fun in the digital illustration workshops hosted by Mwydro, who specialise in creating GIFs. These GIFs are now live and can be used on various social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
You can search for the GIFs by typing a place name in English or Welsh into the GIF search bar.

The children are excited to track how often their GIFs are used. Please support them by using these GIFs when you visit places across Pembrokeshire this summer.
Following the project, there are a huge variety of Welsh GIFs for place names and attractions across Pembrokeshire that can be used by locals and visitors on numerous platforms, celebrating Welsh place names and our cynefin.
