1 Many British places have got unusual names. In England, you can visit Dog Village in the south and World's End in
the north! The name ofone village in Scotland has only got two letters: Ae!
2 But one village in Wales has got a really difficult name: -
Mantysiliogogogoch. This is longer than all the other place names in Europe.
3 This Welsh village is very old - Romans lived there about 2,000 years ago.
4 In the 1950s, the name of the village was Llanfair, andit was a very quiet place. People in the village wanted more
visitors, so they changed the name. They inventeda more interesting new name, with 58 letters!
