In retaliation, the Yorkshire Dales national park are proposing to rename Pen-y-ghent to something more English.

(this is a joke; the point is that there are lots of places in Britain with unexpected, non-local-seeming language roots)

Well, no-longer-local-seeming language roots. I don't know about ghent, but pen y is pretty Welsh. The locals who don't recognize it have mostly just forgotten it.
