BIG NAME, SMALL VILLAGE!
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 of one village in Scotland has only got two letters: Ae!
2 But one village in Wales has got a really difficult name: - antysiliogogogoch. 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 1850s, the name of the village was Llanfair, and it was a very quiet place. People in the village wanted more visitors, so they changed the name. They invented a more interesting new name, with 58 letters!
5 Today, 3,000 people live in the village, but thousands tourists visit every year. It’s famous!
