'www.llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.com' is the largest non-hyphenated domain-name on the internet! Anyway, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is the name of a small town somewhere in Great Britain, literally meaning "the church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave". Understandably, the locals call the place simply 'Llanfair' or 'Llanfair PG' or 'Llanfairpwyll'.

Northern Ireland
England
