Haven't seen that name for a minute or two, Larry!
IIRC, there was a song about it circa 1955, the chorus being "In Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch by the sea."
No, I think I'm confusing it with another name, but there are several sites explaining the meaning, and how to pronounce it.

One of my favorite artist and i'm sorry i could not find a better video of it and i was surprised to find I knew all the words to this song and I surely have not heard it for at least 45yrs!

I am now going

Cheers,

Roger.

PS, the trouble now is the wife will be singing it all day!!!

Roger, Roger,
That's the one, matey!
No wonder I couldn't find a matching sound when I did a close Google of the entire Welsh coast!

Some American tourists stopped at LlanfairPG, and went into a cafe for lunch. A lady asked the waitress to say where they were, very slowly. The waitress looked at her and said, "Buuuuuuuurrrrgerrrrrrrrr Kiiiiiiiiiiiinngg"

The English translation is even longer.

"St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the fierce whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave"
