inhabited place is in Wales:<br/>
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch, which <br/>
translates as: &quot;The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel <br/>
trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio&#39;s of the red cave&quot;.<br/>
<br/>
The one that Jan reports is a hill, while the Welsh is a town.<br/>
