# Problem is,
it's not actually called that. Local hoteliers just added all that "gogogoch" stuff on the end to make an otherwise non-decript town into a tourist trap*.

*A percentage of truth, possibly less than 100.

# Yes,
that's what I meant to say.
I plan to steal their thunder by standing for election to Camden Council, then changing its name to: "The Place Where Students Go To Buy Little Bits of Sticks, Dandelion Leaves and a Broken OXO Cube for £25 Gogogoch."

# I think it was the village
council, rather than the hoteliers, but that apart I think you are spot on

# It means
St. Mary's Church in a hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and St. Tysil's Church of the red cave.

# I love the mentality of people
that go to a town just because it has a long name

# it has a website
that teaches you how to pronounce it.

Simply add "www" at the start and "com" at the end. And mind you spell it right.
