Long Town Name in UK?

Question

Can anyone tell me a long town name of 20+ characters?

Thankyou

Answer 1

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwll Llantysiliogogogoch

in Wales

Answer 2

The most famous one is in Welsh, has 58 letters, and is (actually all one word without the space in the middle):

Llanfairpwllgwynngyllgogerychw yrndrobwlllantysiliogogogoch



It is a town in North Wales meaning "St. Mary's Church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool of Llantysilio of the red cave" or "St. Mary's (Church) by the white aspen over the whirlpool, and St. Tysilio's (Church) by the red cave" in Welsh.

HOWEVER this is only a recent version of the name (as in from the 19th Centuary onwards), as originally, and on maps and road signs, only the FIRST 20 LETTERS are used, which may be the answer you are looking for, if it is a quiz question.  This would be

LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLL

The longest English name (in the Guinness Book of Records) has 18 letters and is:

BLAKEHOPEBURNHAUGH

which is a little hamlet in the Redesdale Forest.

Cottonshopeburnfoot is only half a mile away and has 19 letters but is disqualified because the Ordnance Survey writes it as

Cottonshopeburn Foot

In Scotland, the longest has 18 letters, and is:

COIGNAFEUINTERNICH

in Inverness-shire
