Odd/Funny named Villages

[Whistler40145]

Can you name any odd or funny named villages in the UK?

I'll start with Happy Bottom

 

[trentside]

My personal favourites locally are Mavis Enderby and Belchford.

Douglas Adams used a lot of good ones in The Deeper Meaning of Liff to define things that don't have a word.

Sheepy Magna (and Sheepy Parva)

 

[Johnuk123]

Splott, Bullyhole Bottom, ****t, Faggot, Backside Lane.

 

[iantherev]

Nempnett Thrubwell which sounds as if it should be in Yorkshire but is actually in North Somerset.

 

[John Webb]

"Christmas Common" in Oxfordshire and "Cold Blow" in Pembrokeshire might be topical at the moment?
When living in SE London, one of the many 'Bottoms' I found amusing in the Kentish countryside not far away was "Pratt's Bottom" as my geography master's name was Pratt!

 

[bishdunster]

Piddlehinton and Piddletrentide near Dorchester (Dorset), and not forgetting about 10 miles up the road near Bere Regis Sh**terton !!!

 

[W-on-Sea]

Oddington and Thrupp both spring to mind in the greater Oxfordshire area. Matching Tye in Essex, too.

 

[ThePannier]

Hole of Horcum in North Yorkshire.

 

[Bushy]

There are a few in Kent:
Pluck's Gutter - Thanet
Thong - Gravesham
Pett Bottom - Canterbury

Possibly one of the oddest spelling/pronunctiations is
Trottiscliffe ("Trozli") - Tonbridge & Malling

Bushy

We've got a good one near Pilling called Scronkey.

 

[crehld]

Giggleswick and Wigglesworth - both N Yorks.

 

[ThePannier]

We've also got Pelaw in the north east.

Pronounced - 'Pee-Law'

 

[Whistler40145]

Pity Me

 

[ThePannier]

Pity Me

Outskirts of Durham?

 

[Whistler40145]

That's the one

 

[ThePannier]

That's the one

5-10 minutes away from me in Chester-le-Street.

The best combination of hames I came across while working in the mortgages department of a national bank, involved the name of a village that's already been mentioned, with the last word in the house name being "Krusty"

For some strange reason, the combination caused more than the odd giggle in the office

(Let's see who the first person is to work it out )

Krusty Krab from Spongebob? [emoji3]

[High Dyke]

Ashby Puerorum, Claxby Pluckacre, Drinsey Nook, Bicker Gauntlet, Bag Enderby and finally Carlton Scroop (where the Mem originates from). All are in Lincolnshire.

 

[Ploughman]

Wetwang and Thwing in East Yorkshire and Ugglebarnby in North Yorkshire.

There was also a mini hamlet in the Scilly islands on St Mary's called Nowhere.

 

[IanD]

I always like Blubberhouses in North Yorks.

 

[EM2]

Nempnett Thrubwell which sounds as if it should be in Yorkshire but is actually in North Somerset.

Similarly, Adversane sounds like it should be in Scotland, but is actually near Billingshurst in Sussex.
I love the sound of Aspatria and Ulleskelf.

 

[edwin_m]

Outskirts of Durham?

Not too far from Hetton-le-Hole.

 

[Bevan Price]

In Lancashire, Crank (near St. Helens), Crooke (near Wigan), Grimeford (south of Chorley).

Plus, although it is a road, not a village, there is Slag Lane (Haydock, near St. Helens) - to the best of my knowledge, the lane is not renowned for ladies with "liberal" morals.

 

[lightning76]

Nasty. (Herts I think.) Not sure if it is, I've never been.

 

[deltic1989]

2 Pages and Cockermouth hasn't come up yet? Or am I the only one here with my mind that far in the gutter .
If towns outside the UK are allowed there is the rather amusingly named Dildo, in Canada. Allegedly they have an annual event called "Dildo Day", where competitions are held to win "Dildo Dollars" which are accepted on that day in local stores.
I suppose on the same subject it would be rude not to mention F*cking in Austria, or W*nkendorf.

I see all your suggestions and raise you Kn*blick, Missouri.

Six Mile Bottom in Suffolk makes me think of a huge posterior.

Little and Greater Snoring in Norfolk
Snodland I think in Essex or Suffolk
