Hi The second is correct - the emphasis is on the first syllable: Wel don In English, you often have place names where the last syllable tells you what kind of place it is and the first syllable (or syllables) tells you something more specific... don = it's on a hill ... Wel = it has a well In all the examples I can think of, the emphasis is on the first syllable.
