Funny (or unfortunate) place names in the UK

[xsquared]

Just for the fun of it.

I live near a place called Pity Me.
I've visited Twatt in Orkney.
Some people from our running club took part in a recent race near Shittlehope.

What is the funniest place name you have come across?

We have a Blue Ball Lane and a Bell End near us!

Cockbush avenue very near us...

I grew up near Pratts Bottom. I always thought it fortunate that the hospital was in nearby Locks Bottom instead. And they just use Bromley on the birth certificates

I now live near Warning Tongue Lane.

Pratts Bottom
Badgers Mount

Six Mile Bottom

Three Holes

Upper Dicker and Lower Dicker

A friend's address used to be The Old Piggeries, Dark Lane. Very ominous!
I know a Frog Lane in Somerset and Tadpole Bridge in Oxfordshire (might just be in Wiltshire), but both sound quite cute.
Shitterton in Dorset.
Gilpin's Bottom in Devon.

Barf hill

Somewhere in Yorkshire

We were all car sick at the time

I live near Pityme too. I like Ventongimps which isn't far away either.

Effin in Ireland. Effin church, Effin village shop, Effin choir...

Upperthong
Ugley

We also have a lot of Bottoms round here, my favourite is Deep Bottom

Cockermouth in Cumbria.

Used to walk out of the primary school in Switzerland where I worked and pass a side street called Buttholenweg.

Not strictly correct, but we’ve been to Northumberland on holiday in recent years and near where we stayed in Cresswell, someone had most diligently changed a middle letter of the village called Shilbottle to something else.

Shingay-cum-Wendy Cambridgeshire

Also near Pity Me.

Locally I like No Place and have a fondness for Bitchburn, especially when they have posters around advertising Bitch Fest.

Then there are the badges that invite questions like Burnt Houses (which is near Cockfield of course). I can't help but wonder whether there was a different name before a fire?

Or the hamlet of ham, in sandwich !

Op I opened this thread to type pity me! You must also be familiar with no place, quaking houses and crook!

Wombwell
Fartown
Penistone
Scunthorpe
Wetwang

We do love daft names here in Yorkshire 😂

Bonkle and Bogside. They're near Motherwell.

Crackpot in North Yorkshire.

Originally from the south of England, now live north, when I used to revisit, the old, warn out signs in Kent that spelt "ham sandwich" used to amuse me as a child... (worn out "ham" left, "sandwich" right)

Not far from windy nook
