Is Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch worth a visit?

Would you recommend it?

Charlie19 · 19-01-2019 09:32PM

Yawn.

Just a village on Anglesey, nothing of great note there bar the place name signs.

Past through the station manys the time

I think you missed an 'E' in that spelling.

ps I say this as someone who has been there! And I don't disagree with Blackadder's assessment below...

Blackadder:
Have you ever been to Wales, Baldrick?

Baldrick:
No, but I've often thought I'd like to.

Blackadder:
Well don't. It's a ghastly place. Huge gangs of tough, sinewy men roam the Valleys, terrorizing people with their close-harmony singing. You need half a pint of phlegm in your throat just to pronounce the place names. Never ask for directions in Wales, Baldrick. You'll be washing spit out of your hair for a fortnight.

That's easy for you to say

There's nothing in north west Wales worth a visit.

The Ferry port enroute to Ireland

branie2 · 19-01-2019 09:43PM

Might have passed through it on my way to England.

It's very seedy, especially by the station where the prostitutes hang around, so yes worth a weekend. Anymore than that and you'll run out of fresh sex workers to make sexytime with.

branie2 · 19-01-2019 09:48PM

I believe Daffyd, the only gay in the village, or as he calls himself that, lives there.

the shopping centre there is awesum

Llanfair is run of the mill, except for the signposts. Which I stole and hawked on the black market.

Anglesey is just a ferry ride away and it’s got a wealth of interesting places to visit: Plas Newydd stately home, Anglesey Sea Zoo, Parys Mountain copper mine walking trails, Beaumaris Cadtle & Gaol, Pili Pallas Nature World, Ynys Llanddwyn nature zone, beauty spot and beach,Foel Farm Park, Burial Chambers, lots of walks, Plas Cadmant Gardens, Melin Llynon Windmill, Swton Heritage Museum, Penmon Priory... the list is endless of places to visit.

Good filling station just off the A55, used to use the company fuel card there to fill up before heading home to paddyland.

Stopped there a couple of times on way back from Manchester. Decent visitor centre and cafe. Locals are sound out and will say the town name all day long for your entertainment.

I'd advise if you have a few hours free before the ferry spend it there over the ****hole that is holyhead.

Jessie Belle · 20-01-2019 12:47AM

Go for two weeks. You'll be wrecked for the first one from asking for directions.

Yes, apart from Holyhead which is a kip, the rest of Anglesey is actually quite nice. Most people coming off the ferry just drive straight through it which is a shame.

Portmeirion, location for the cult TV show the prisoner,
is both surreal and beautiful.

Capt'n Midnight · 20-01-2019 01:15AM

You can see it from the train as you are passing , just another Welsh village

Speaking of Fishguard

Remember went too Oakwood one summer for the day and on route back for the late ferry we had too got dropped off at some **** bowling alley that nobody wanted to go. Fishguard is a depressing place and the port is like something from ages past

On the plus side they're holding off building yet another new Nuc Power Plant in Anglesey,
Sellafeild gave enough trouble over the years, without anymore glowing fish in the Irish Sea.

Arghus · 20-01-2019 03:25AM

Try saying it after a feed of pints.

That's one of my bucket list places to visit.

Been to Wales a few times but only for very short visits or driving through. Found everyone really nice and the scenery was amazing.

Would love to visit for a week or two and see it properly.

Firstly there's been one there for several years already, which was operational between 1971 and 2012, which nobody here seemed to notice, despite it being closer to Dublin than Sellafield. The planned new one is a replacement for the existing one which will be decommissioned.

Secondly, Winscale/Sellafield was never a nuclear power plant, it's a nuclear fuel reprocessing and decommissioning site.

I drive from London to Holyhead at least once a year. The north Wales stretch is easily the nicest part of the journey - actually quite spectacular in places before you actually get to Holyhead (that's a different story). There are definitely a few spots I'd like to visit.

Is Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch worth a visit?
