The Isle of Anglesey
Anglesey (/ˈæŋɡəlsiː/; Welsh: Ynys Môn, ˈənɨs ˈmoːn) is an island off the north west coast of Wales. Two bridges span the Menai Strait, connecting it to the mainland: the Menai Suspension Bridge designed by Thomas Telford in 1826 and the Britannia Bridge. Although serving as the chief part of the kingdom of Gwynedd, Anglesey is no longer part of that county; instead, Anglesey, Holy Island, and other nearby islands make up the current Isle of Anglesey County.
My personal favourite thing is Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (pronounced ˌɬanvairˌpuɬɡwɨ̞nˌɡɨ̞ɬɡoˌɡɛrəˌχwərnˌdrobuɬˌɬantɨ̞ˌsiljoˌɡoɡoˈɡoːχis a large village and community on the island of Anglesey in Wales, situated on the Menai Strait next to theBritannia Bridge and across the strait from Bangor. It has the longest place name in Europe and one of the longest place names in the world. The short form of the name is Llanfairpwllgwyngyll or Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll. It is commonly known as Llanfair PG or Llanfairpwll.
