What does Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch actually mean?

Описание: Yes I know, I still didn't say it right in the video even by the end.

Deconstructing Europe's longest place name, around a village famous for its signage. Named after two churches, the dangerous local waters of the Menai Strait, and a cave associated with a Saint, Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch is perhaps the most famous word in the Welsh language, despite the fact that few people can say it properly and even fewer know what it means.

A 19th-century publicity gimmick that still works even today, the name of the village was officially changed with the sole purpose of getting tourists to get off the train at the new station. Probably the most famous railway station sign in the world, even on a wet, windy Welsh day, tourists still flock here to have a photo and say they've been... Even if they can't say where it is.
