how about going to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysili ogogogoch but as that is a place I will suggest Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis as one of the longest words in English smile

Titin is the longest 'word' in the English language, being 189, 819 letters long. But as its 'a chemical formulae' some consider it not a word but a collection of words strung together.
It can't be found in dictionary, but when I googled the longest English word that is what I found.

This is video of someone saying the word (I got tired of it after 2 minutes crazy it takes over 8 minutes to say.)

you tube

Been to Llanfair....and we've discussed it before here,
but it is a neat place, love the pronunciation.
