The approximate pronunciation in English orthography is given at the station as:
Llan-vire-pooll-guin-gill-go-ger-u-queern-drob-ooll-llandus-ilio-gogo-goch.
In English one would say "Mary's house in the hollow of the white hazel rapid whirlpool and the church of the red cave."

Were did the other BBC regional channels go?
A few years ago we were going to cornwall so we checked out the regional BBC channel for the weather reports. but now they've gone.
