The town with the LONGEST name in Europe ?
We stopped by Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyllllantysiliogogogoch ???????
We’re not joking, this is actually the name of a town in Wales. Despite its 58 letters, people in the town can pronounce this place name easily. But, did you know that this wasn’t always the town’s name? In the 1860s, the name was developed as a way to entice tourists to make the town a stop on their travels.
