- At 58 letters, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch is the longest town name in all of Europe. It wasn't always the town's name, though-in the 1860s, the name was developed as a way to entice tourists to make the town a stop on their travels. It's an amalgamation of the Welsh words and names for local landmarks, and it's probably the best PR stunt of the 1860s-or today. So yeah, welcome to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch! You don't need to be able to say it to enjoy your stay.

Did you not learn it as a child?
@@alcazar123456 Unfortunately it's a language that has been in decline for hundreds of years, most people in Wales speak English. In fact it was illegal to use Welsh in court, so a native Welsh speaker who didn't speak anything else would not even have been able to defend themselves legally!

I do like the fact that the station platform is completely accessible to the public without needing to go through any barriers or buy a platform ticket. You can just walk through the car park and out onto the platform and over the bridge to get your photo next to the sign. Also attracts tourists.

In Welsh, “LL” is a different sound than two “L”, so words can start or end with it. So in the name, “bwll” and “llan” happened to be right next to each other, causing a double-double-L!
