LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLL ANTYSILIOGOGOGOCH
Which means "St Mary's Church in the Hollow of the White Hazel near a Rapid Whirlpool and the Church of St Tysilio near the Red Cave"
It is a village on the island of Anglesey in Wales and is the longest official placename in the UK.
Phew!

Gorsafawddacha'idraigodanheddogleddoll�npenrhynareurdrae thceredigion is the name given to a station on the Fairbourne Steam Railway in Gwynedd in North Wales. The name was contrived by the railway for publicity and to outdo Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychw yrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. The name is translated as: "The Mawddach station and its dragon teeth at the Northern Penrhyn Road on the golden beach of Cardigan Bay."

Oh dear! Seems like I stirred some problems up here. Maybe I will look in an encyclopedia next time I want to ask a question. My question was asked in all innocence and for the record, LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLL ANTYSILIOGOGOGOCH and Gorsafawddacha'idraigodanheddogleddoll�npenrhynareurdrae thceredigion may well be place names, but they also look like very long words to me! Anyway thanks to all who contributed.
