The Welsh Village of "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" , variously spelled with between 54 and 58 letters is credited with possessing the longest place name in Great Britain, and one of the longest in the world.
Often shortened to Llanfair P.G., the name translates roughly as "Saint Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool by the red cave of Saint Tusilio"
