    There’s Tiddlywink, a small group of cottages near Chippenham, on the way to Castle Combe. Then there’s Piddletrenthide and Piddlehinton, both on the River Piddle in Dorset. Dorset has quite a collection around that area, like Beer Hackett, Droop, Clenstone Whatcombe, Up Cerne, Nether Cerne, Clapgate, Poxwell…
    Then there’s Fishpond Bottom, near Lyme Regis. Oh, and Tollpuddle and Affpuddle are on the River Piddle, but posh people changed the names from Tollpiddle and Affpiddle, ‘cos they were too embarrassed to say where they lived. 😆
