In the summer of 2018 we took a cruise that circumnavigated Ireland with a stop in Holyhead, Wales. Holyhead is the home of a town that had the longest place name in Europe until January 31st, 2020. That was the date of the completion of Brexit. Now the longest name in the European Union is held by a town in Finland. The longest in the WORLD is held by a location on the North Island, New Zealand.
Below is a picture of a sign with the Welsh name, Llanfairpwllgwngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, and a video of it being pronounced by a weather man.
Enjoy!
