OK, are you ready?...Deep breath:

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!

&nb sp;

I wouldn't refer to it as 'new' though!  I learned it in school 30 years ago!

and it makes a great phrase to give your kids to write out 20 times when they have been really naughty

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

mrs cheeks"dont be so cruel lol.

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."

Click on here for some details.  Maybe, if someone finds out the new longest Welsh word, they could let them know!

I knew about "Llanfair-etc" and "Gorsafawdda-etc" many billions of years before anybody else posted any answers to this question, but I did not mention them because I thought that saskia was asking for a longest word, and not for a place-name.  By the way, the "Gorsafawdda-" contrivance is hardly "new" in that it has existed for more than a decade.
A Welsh fire-breathing red dragon has obviously breathed on my previous answer because I did not put all that stuff in red; only the "place-name" bit.

Oh by the way, my knowledge of Welsh is not good enough to know what the longest

 

< P>WORD

 

is.

Oi!  Editor!  Please sort out the HTML stuff on this site.  I did not put in that < P>, nor did I put in a &nb s p;.

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.
