Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Entering Y Fali/Valley on the B4545 "Y Fali" is a transcription of the English "Valley". From time to time, pedants have sought to render Y Fali as "Dyffryn", a Welsh word meaning "valley". But this is to misunderstand the way the village's name came about - there is no valley (at least in the traditional Welsh sense) in Valley - the Fali was a huge cutting made in the area by Telford in order to get soil and rock to build the Stanley Embankment which would take his road across the Inland Sea to Holyhead.
