Gorsafawddacha'idraigodanheddogleddollônpenrhynareurdraethceredigion (Welsh: /ɡɔrsavauðaχaɪdraɪɡɔdanhɛðɔɡlɛðɔɬoːnpɛnr̥ɪnarɛɨrdraːɨθkɛrɛdɪɡɪɔn/) is the former name of a station on the Fairbourne Railway in Gwynedd in North Wales. The name was contrived by the railway for publicity and to outdo Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch. The Welsh name is translated as: "The Mawddach station and its dragon teeth at the northern headland road on the golden beach of Cardigan Bay".
The "dragon teeth" refer to some surviving World War II anti-tank blocks.
On the Ordnance Survey OS Explorer map covering the region, the station is marked as "Golf Halt".
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 Ceredigon for "on the golden beach of Cardigan Bay": however Bae Ceredigion is "Cardigan Bay", and Ceredigion is the neighbouring county (the station itself is in Gwynedd). Possibly because of this, the name has not received much if any official recognition and Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch 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).
