Where is the train station "Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch"?

The story behind the answer

Wales. The train station serves the village on the island of Anglesey known for its famously long Welsh name, often shortened to Llanfairpwll or Llanfair PG. It’s Britain’s longest place name and a popular photo stop thanks to the oversized station sign.

The name was lengthened in the 1860s as a publicity stunt and roughly translates to “St Mary’s Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio by the red cave.” To remember it’s Welsh, look for hallmark letter clusters like ll, wy, and gogogoch—distinctive features of the Welsh language.
