There's a Docwra's Close next to Shepreth Station. Pronounce that!

No harder than "Gwydir".

Well, exactly.

Care to enlighten us on your preferred pronunciations?

I've no idea how to pronounce either of them!

We know the standard Cambridge pronunciation of Gwydir to be Gwyder
because of the replacement street sign made by the Council for "Upper
Gwyder Street" once.
