| '''Golf Halt''' is a small railway halt on the ] in ], ]. | |||
| Until 2007 the station was known as '''Gorsafawddachaidraigddanheddogleddollônpenrhynareurdraethceredigion''' ({{IPA-cy|ˌɡɔrsaˌvauðaχaɪˌdraɪɡˌðanhɛðˌɔɡlɛðɔlˌloːnpɛnˌr̥ɪnarˌɛɨrˌdraːɨθkɛrɛˈdɪɡjɔn}}. | |||
| ==Overview== | |||
| The name was contrived by the ] for ] and to outdo ]gogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. The ] name is translated as: "] Station and its Dragon beneath the northern peace of the Penrhyn Road on the golden beach of ]."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Wöll |first1=Horst |title=Gorsafawddacha'idraigddanheddogleddollonpenrhynareurdraethceredigion |url=http://kimkat.org/amryw/1_enwau/enwau_lleoedd_cymru_llanfairpwllgwyngyll_2_0479e.htm |website=CYMRU-CATALONIA |access-date=22 February 2021 |date=July 3, 1999}}</ref> | |||
| The "dragon" refers to some surviving ] anti-tank blocks, known as ]. | |||

| Problems with the name are the need for the apostrophe and that the two words ''...ogleddol-lôn...'' need a hyphen between them to make sense. ''Ll'' is a letter in its own right in Welsh. It also includes the description ''ar eurdraeth Ceredigion'' for "on the golden beach of Cardigan Bay": however "Cardigan Bay" is ''Bae ]'', and it is the neighbouring county (the station itself is in ]). Possibly because of this, the name has not received much if any official recognition and ] is still regarded as the longest by most authorities. The station reverted to its original name of Golf Halt in 2007 (although on the new sign underneath "Golf Halt" the long name is displayed in small letters). | |||
