Towns, Villages in uk with funny names

Tittensor. (Groundslow maternity hospital)

Lord Hereford's Knob.
We went past there the other week on the way to Hay!
Yorkey's Knob (that's in Australia, does it count?)

Groundslow maternity hospital my nephew and niece were born there.
It never occurred to me that Loggerheads and Tittensor were odd when I lived in Staffordshire!

Pucklechurch
Curry Rivel
and Curry Mallet
Queen Camel
all in the West Country

There’s a Loggerheads in North Wales, too. I never gave it a thought.

Great Snoring and Little Snoring in Norfolk.

Pease Pottage in Sussex

Incidentally, to me a tit is a small bird, and a cock is a male hen, so I have never found names containing those elements particularly funny. I didn’t know the giggly schoolkid euphemisms until I was more or less grown up. I don't think I was alone in this. We all read Arthur Ransome’s books with Titty as a main character without thinking it was funny.

Ashby de la Zouche, Rievaulx, Hurstpierpoint, Herstmonceux, Belvoir amongst others.
I have enjoyed this topic very much!

I have lived in Pratt's Bottom, Kent for nearly 40 years! Just down the road we have Badgers Mount and Locksbottom. I've also visited Sandy Balls in Hampshire!

Grandmabeach I live in Ramsgate not far from Sandwich and Ham

Pity Me. I ended up here when I got lost on a diversion, very apt.

TerriBull Llanfairpg, as the locals call it, had a perfectly ordinary name originally. A local entrepreneur persuaded them to change it, hoping to encourage tourists. It certainly worked. These days there are lots of tourists on Anglesey, and traffic to the ferry port for Ireland passes through the village anyway.
I live in a little town called Ashton-in-Makerfield. Newton-le-Willows is just down the road.

Rood End in Sandwell, West Midlands

I recommended Sandy Balls to someone the other day - presuming the camping/caravan park is still there!

Has anyone been to Brown Willy? DS found it rather funny when he was little.
Also Goonhilly Downs in Cornwall

Giggleswick

I used to live near the village of Christmas Pie

Has anyone mentioned Mousehole?

A few from the part of Yorkshire where i grew up:

Totties
Upperthong
Netherthong

On a recent visit to my mum's, as we were driving past a roadsign for Totties, there were several attractive young women (late-teens?) standing right beneath it at the bus stop. I really wish I could have taken a photo ?

Yell, Shetland
Tongue, Laid,...both in Sutherland

Rum, Eigg and Muck

There's Besses o' t' barn near Bury and Catherine de Barnes near Solihull, which sounds a lot more aristocratic than the Besses. Nasty in Herts and Ugley, Cockfosters and Shellow Bowells in Essex . Has anyone said great Cockup in the lake District, ok it's a hill not a village, if so sorry for the mistake. In the greater Bradford area there is Fanny St and a discreet distance away there is Dick Lane. Scratch arse hill is in Kent near Sittingbourne, maybe that should be Standingbourne ! Pulloxhill in Bedfordshire often raises a laugh as do Blubberhouses, Crackpot and Giggleswick in Yorkshire and Prickwillow, in Cambridgeshire, and the Dickers, both upper and lower in Sussex. I once went through Frisby on the Wreake not at all rude which is an amazing name, not far from Bunny which are sort of between Nottingham and Loughborough. And my question if I hear Turnham Green is turn what green.

Not really a funny name, but we used to be amazed by the number of signposts marked "Mere 13". It's a little town in Wiltshire, and we passed near it on our way to the West Country for holidays. Wherever we were, it was always a mere 13 miles away, according to the signs.

One that had my kids rolling about in the back of the car (no child seats in those days!) was "Furzton" near Oxford. To German eyes it was quite funny:

"Furz" means "Fart" in German, and "Ton" means "sound".

Actually it was DH who noticed it and pointed it out to them.

Rooty Hill
Do town ,where all the inhabitants have variations eg dolittle

Some of the names are amazing but I wouldn't be able to keep a straight face if I lived in some of the areas. Hahahaha

In Canada, Nanaimo has a road called Jinglepot,

I live near the Upper and Lower Dickers! Purplepoppies

Callistemon Yes the camp site at Sandy Balls is still there!

Oh good, I can't remember who I recommended it to though.
It's years since we went.
