Beacon's Bottom, Golden pot,.. There's a map specially drawn which highlights all the odd and double entendre names on Amazon "ST&G's Marvellous Map of Great British Place Names (Marvellous Maps)"

no place and quaking houses

I've always liked Grogport, a tiny village on the way to Campbletown on the Kintyre penninsula.

There's a place in Chester called nowhere.

Devon has a number of areas with unusual names such as Beer, Cockwood, Frenchbeer and Sheepwash. Then there is Zeal Monachorum, which sounds more like a place on another planet.

If only we had a place like this in the UK.

There's somewhere in Orkney called Twatt , I live in York and there's a road called Pavement and one called Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate, it's one of the shortest streets in the UK at 10 metres long

Genius .Loving these .I remember years ago we had pretty bad storms and Cockermouth was flooded and I do feel sorry for the people with the disruption but a reporter who was there reporting on it really did have the giggles every time they mentioned the name.

A village near me in Cambridgeshire is called.... Pidley!

Bashful alley in Lancaster always makes me smile, saw an article about Lower and upper Slaughter a few days ago, most scenic villages...
