Interesting name.  According to wiki this was a promotional idea of the village.  This actually means:

 

: Parish [church] of [st.] Mary (Llanfair) [in] Hollow (pwll) of the White Hazel [township] (gwyn gyll) near (go ger) the rapid whirlpool (y chwyrn drobwll) [and] the parish [church] of [st.] Tysilio (Llantysilio) with a red cave ([a]g ogo[f] goch).

 

They actually teach how to pronounce it: http://llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.co.uk/say.php
