Places with 'interesting' names.

[lightlypoached]

I've just driven past Nork village 😂

What's your favourite place name ?

*sniggers

Ham, Sandwich Kent 🤣

Sandy, Beds

I doubt it. How recent was that?

There's a Daddyhole Road in Torquay.

Brown Willy, highest point on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall.

Still in Cornwall, a village called Cocks.

I used to live in a little hamlet in Hertfordshire called Cowroast...

Now live up a little country lane called Cuckolds Row in Somerset

Pishill and Nettlebed, both in Oxfordshire, always used to amuse me, driving past the road signs

Weedon (as in what you get if you sit under a horse) and Towcester (pronounced 'Toaster').

We regularly drive through Penistone, we know how to pronounce it but the sat nav doesn't...

Heckmondwike is a great town name that couldn't be anywhere but Yorkshire! It instantly makes you want to say "Eeeee, mother, well I'll go to the bottom of our stairs and make me way to Heckmondwike on a drizzly market day!"

There's a road in Kidderminster called Park Butts Ringway. Sounds like whoever originally named it had quite a thing for bottoms!

Cocking and Didling near me ..also in Hampshire Newton Valence and Hartley Maudit, always suggested two old thespian antique dealers who loathed each other..

Mardy, just outside Abergavenny

Three Cocks, near Brecon

There are so many fabulous ones here, it's hard she sniggers childishly to pick a favourite.

Another Cornwall one, a little hamlet called... Ventongimps

Upper Ramsbottom 😆

Dead Man's Hole Lane.. :-0

Wankum in Germany

Theres also a hill near Garmisch-Partenkirchen called Wank with a cable-car to the top called the Wankbahn.

Dull in Scotland. Twinned with Boring, Oregon and Bland in Australia. 😂

Bellenden Road In Peckham

Pennis Lane in Kent ...

Oh, and a place called Titsey

You know what, this is my nearest town, and the pronunciation of the name is so normalised I forgot to mention it.

I was very dissapointed to discover that "Donisthorpe" is in Leicestershire. Seems like another name that could only be in Yorkshire.

There is a village in Cambridgeshire called Ugley. It has a WI branch.
