What's the longest placename you've visited?

In My Humble Opinion
21

Probably true. For us, it was a ~20-minute rest stop on a coach tour in northern Wales.

I have been there, thought it was called Lake Webster at the time. And course not IN it silly, you grow up on your side, I grow up on my side and nobody grows up in the middle!

23

And I thought my time in Thiruvananthapuram in India was notable. Just listen to it!

That said, it’s the name of a major city and is said in it’s full form relatively often (although people often default to it’s old name of Trivandrum). I think that’s a different beast than an obscure hill that people rarely refer to unless they are talking about that hill with a long name.

24

Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in England, Achnasheen in Scotland, Mont-Saint-Michel in Europe and Ho Chi Minh City (if the ‘City’ counts) worldwide.

Or long story short, Bangkok.

25

It’s still called Webster Lake. Probably Webster elementary school teachers are the main people who still use the original name, and probably only once per year. :smiley:

26

I’ve been there.

27

El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula, California

28

I’m from W Mass, and my 6th grade social studies teacher made us learn how to say it. To this day I roll the name off my tongue and people look at me like ‘WTF?!’

Every year there are a couple sprint triathlons where the swim is in the lake - so I’ve swum in it. It’s a lake - a nice lake, but still a lake. Most notable thing is its name.

29

Nothing too fancy - I’ve been to the side of Eyjafjallajökull and I walked on Svínafellsjökull. The same day I bathed in Seljavallalaug. As single words, they have a lot of letters.

There are a significant number of counties in the mid-Atlantic area of the us that are at least three words.

VA:

James City County (been there)
Prince William County (been there)
Prince George County (haven’t been there)
Prince Edward County (haven’t been there)

MD:

Anne Arundel County (been there)
Prince George’s County (been there)
Queen Anne’s County (been there)

That’s nothing: there’s a state with a name that’s seven words – State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations – though I haven’t been there.

I have, however, lived in a four-word county – West Riding of Yorkshire – and currently live in a five-word state – State of New South Wales.
