.... how about going for a drink or ten with your mates, and then getting a Taxi home...

... actually, you may have a bloody better chance of getting the name pronounced right when you're inebriated!!!

am sure I went there once with me dad in his old Sierra
...isn't it somewhere near on on Anglesey (spelling crap)

north Wales at least?

anyway it apparently means this
"St. Mary's Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the red cave."

will not testify for that but it's what you get from one search engine
