This is a Funny Place!

I just reminded myself of a place in Bristol called "There and Back Again Lane", I know there's lots of strangely named places in Somerset, Nempnett Thrubwell, Gurney Slade and in Cornwall, "Playing Place" etc.

Do you know of any?

There's a place called 'Pity Me' in Northumberland,(I think)...
There's a village / town called 'Loggerheads' in Staffordshire.

Re: This is a Funny Place!

How about 'Matching Tye' or 'Twitty Fee' or 'Wallish Walls' or even 'Blubberhouses'. But for the 'naughtier' places, there's 'Twatt' on both Orkney and Shetland, and who could forget the town of 'Intercourse' in Pensylvania. (I've been there)
