The longest English place name is Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, which is a village in Wales (on the island of Anglesey) ... which is sort of cheating, because the name was deliberately selected to be long and is basically just Welsh for "the Church of St. Mary in the hollow of the white hazel near the rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio with a red cave". The original name was the considerably more reasonable Llanfair Pwllgyngyll (which means the same thing, but stops after "white hazel").
