Llanfair­pwllgwyn­gyllgo­gery­chwyrn­drobwll­llanty­silio­gogo­goch


You think that I may be joking... but not, it's true, this is actually a name of a little village in Wales, located in the Anglesey island. The population is aprox. 3000.

Llanfair­pwllgwyn­gyllgo­gery­chwyrn­drobwll­llanty­silio­gogo­goch has the longest place name in Europe and the second longest in planet Earth.

The meaning is: "St. Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the fierce whirlpool and the church of St. Tysilio of the red cave."

The name was willingly invented for tourist attraction and their purpose succeeded. Many tourists come here even to take a look only, to believe their own eyes.

Date: April 2003
