Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is a village on the island of Anglesey, on the Menai Strait next to the Britannia Bridge, across the strait from Bangor. The village is best known for its name, the longest place name in Europe and one of the longest place names in the world. Typically visitors stop at the Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch railway station to be photographed next to the station sign, visit the nearby Visitors' Centre, or have 'passports' stamped at a local shop. Another tourist attraction is the nearby Marquess of Anglesey's Column, which at a height of 88 feet high offers views over Anglesey and the Menai Strait. The Column, designed by Thomas Harrison, celebrates the heroism of Henry Paget, 1st Marquess of Anglesey at the Battle of Waterloo. (Read more)
