Llanfairpwll Train Station

About

Famous because of its long name, this village is known throughout the world. It’s full name is Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogeryrchwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch which means The Church of St Mary in the hollow of the white hazel near the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio near a red cave, although it is usually shortened to Llanfairpwll or Llanfair P.G. The station was opened in 1848 and the name combines a number of local place names. It was the longest place name in an English speaking country, however this has been challenged. The station is still open and trains do stop, limited facilities at the station as the station in unmanned.
