Looking towards the west. The longest station name in Britain, the village name means, "St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the fierce whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave" although it was only Llanfairpwllgwyngyll until the 1860s and was revised to encourage tourism - which it still does. The station isn't what it was when it probably made more money from selling platform tickets than tickets for travel from here!
