This is the border between England and Wales, as shown on Google Maps. The border is labelled with the Irish name for "Wales". I am not quite sure why this is. They do not speak Irish in Wales. They speak English mostly, but also Welsh, which is a completely different language to Irish. It's not even as if the terms are similar: "An Bhreatain Bheag" cannot be confused with "Cymru".
