While nearby Wales may have the longest place name in the world
the 58-letter Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, Ireland doesnt lag too far behind. At 41 characters, Sliabh Phlochige
agus Leadhb Reannach Thuaidh, literally Plughoge and Leabrannagh Mountain North is a townland in County Donegal. Irelands longest oneword place name is the 22-letters long Muckanaghederdauhaulia (literally Pig-marsh between two saltwaters). The Irish go to great lengths to
display their fondness for verbosity, be it a stone or a river. There are nearly 50 places in Ireland with 20+ names. Most seem as if they were the
result of a two-year old left unattended at the computer keyboard. Try asking for directions to Bullaunancheathrairaluinn,
Sruffaunoughterluggatoora or Sruffaungolinluggatavhin. Our advice, stick to Cork
