About the Welsh Language
The Welsh language (Cymraeg) is one of Europe’s oldest living languages, rich with musical sounds and poetic expression. Many Welsh place names are beautifully descriptive, reflecting local landscapes, rivers, hills, and saints. While they may look daunting at first glance, each name tells a story – often far more lyrical once you hear it spoken correctly.
Did You Know?
Wales is home to one of the world’s longest place names: Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. It means "St Mary’s Church in the hollow of the white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave." Locals affectionately call it Llanfair PG for short! Despite their length, Welsh place names are logical – often combining descriptive words for landmarks, saints, or geography.
