Effingham in Surrey.
There's also a Cock Lane near it in Fetcham.

Both Fetcham and Ashtead have a street very originally called 'The Street'.

Also nearby is Dorking. Just before the High Street there's a roundabout on which stands a very large statue of a rooster. The roundabout is nicknamed the Cock roundabout. The Cock has a Christmas hat on during the Christmas period!

Bell End, Worcestershire.

As you sit at the traffic lights on Stourbridge Road, by the turn off for Belbroughton, you realise you're outside the entrance to Bell End Farm. I wonder what they grow there.

Badgers Mount (which isn't far from Pratts Bottom).

I drive passed a sign for a hamlet called Prickwillow.
Makes me smile even after 3 years of driving passed it.

Fryup in Yorkshire is my favourite

Dirt Pot near Allendale in Northumberland sounds lovely.
Quaking Houses, Pity Me and No Place in Durham are interesting names. I grew up not far from that area and was always intrigued by them.

Whilst doing some genealogy research, I discovered an ancestor called Fanny Haire. I still giggle about it.

Carsick Hill in Sheffield. It’s pretty steep!!

I agree with Wetwang! They do lovely fish and chips

Alicesweewonders · 10/01/2020 23:09

I second Muff, Ireland. It also has a diving clubGrinWink

The Wank in Garmisch makes me giggle. We went up the Wank and have some excellent photos of us all pretending to be in spasms of pleasure next to the sign that says Ich liebe Wank at the station.

I also like Punchardon in Devon.

I'm next to Cocking. LOVE IT.

SunbeamsOverhead · 10/01/2020 23:12

Cocking in Sussex.

Also, I live near Long Itchington. We call it Short Scratchington because we're immature.

@daisychain01 Emma-Chris Way in Bristol is named after children who were killed in 2 separate road traffic accidents.

Intercourse, in Pennsylvania, not far from Paradise.

Bickering in, I think, Lincolnshire
Loggerheads, in the border with Wales if I recall.

Everyone told us we should have bought in one of the last two!

For those with an OH like mine there are Great and Little Snoring too

Clint Green used to have the same problem until they decided to call it Yaxham

An area of Bristol is called Catbrain, which I love.
