name. Most sites on this subject say that the best anyone can do in

1. www.llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.co.uk/
Website for the Welsh village with the longest name in Britain. It means: Saint Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio of the red cave. The website includes a tutorial on how to pronounce the name and lists local attractions and places to stay and eat.
Web page claiming to be
the one with the longest name; includes a link to an email from
Guinness World Records explaining why it is no longer possible to
break this record, and a message from God!
3.
