Went through Stretton Grandison today, on the a417 north of Gloucester.
Used to cycle Sheffield to Gringley-On-The-Hill to play for Gringley Celtic 5-a-side team.
The closest I get nowadays is Dollar, although I'm not sure if that's posh or Gangsta.
Where is Dollar? Love it!
An old route I used to do would take me through Askham Richard. Sounds posher than it is.
Hollow Meadows.
It's a farm and two houses. And a major A road.
It's in the central belt of Scotland. Lovely place.
Great Budworth and Little Bollington feature on my regular rides.
I go through Baarle Nassau on some of my road rides which sounds quite posh when most of the places round here translate to 'pig town' or similar, the best thing about it is you go from Holland to Belgium about 10 times in 1km.
Same as Brengate, and Peover Superior, Sandiway,..
There's loads of posh spots near here to be fair.
Mind, some absolute shite holes too..
Ayott st Peter and Ayott st Laurence, both quaint little halmets and prime candidates for an overly elaborate murder mystery.
Haseley Knob
Studley Royal has to take some beating, even though it's not a village or town.
Studley Roger is a small village though. 🙂
Mottram St Andrew. As 'posh' as it sounds, being in the locale of Alderley Edge and all.
On the other hand, how's about Flash? It isn't.
Sherfield English?
Mottisfont?
Hampton Lucy (s****)
Purleigh Roundbush
I pass through Tallentire, sounds posh to me. Nice houses there too.
Mind, some absolute shite holes too..
Partington?
Kings somborne is another good one...lots near me, Goodworth Catford as well
Hehehe Bamboo - I used to rent an apartment in Halsey Hall, Hasley Knob!
I like Peover Superior.
Used to live in Kibworth Beauchamp; it's a lot nicer than Ashby de la Zouch 🙂
Duntisbourne Rouse
Somerford Keynes
Coln St Aldwyns
I live in the Cotswolds, need I go on?
Stoke d'Abernon - and it's even posher than the name suggest.
Used to live in Kibworth Beauchamp
The council part of Kibworth then 😉
The council part of Kibworth then
Your mother!
Apparently when the sewerage pipes were laid the Harcourt side wanted their own separate system so their "doings" wouldn't be sullied by the inferior poop of Beauchamp 🙂
Also, there's different entrances to the church depending on how self-important you are 🙂
I cycled through Haseley Knob today 8)
Bumpton Crammer
I used to cycle through Buckleberry.
That village has a posh ex resident.
My favourite is Marsh Gibbon, (Buckinghamshire)
Went through Fotheringhay, today. Which both sounds, and is, posh.
Thornton Hough almost every day, even the post office looks posh

Hatch Beauchamp. Must be a bit posh because it's not pronounced the way it's spelled. Loads of posh sounding villages in Somerset, most of which aren't all that posh.
Hampton Court (Palace) along with every other cyclist in south west London 😆
Used to cycle through these villages
Thornton le moor
Thornton le street
Thornton le beans
Really not sure where the le came from
I some times ride through Upper Ponsnay.
That's posh as ****.
Castle Combe many times, (as seen in [i]Stardust, Poirot, Warhorse, Dr Dolittle, Wolfman)[/i], and Tiddlywink.

Rockhampton.
Pica
Same as The Count. Castle Combe is on one favourite loops and it is pretty posh!
Saint Retford and Dunhrlm Massey on our Thurs ride.
Mary Hill 😀
Warsash (clearly superior to all of yours 😆 ) and..
The Millburrys
Habergham Eaves:
A chinese restaurant, a small school and a sailing club.
Crawshaw Booth:
Rawtenstall, but with nowhere to park.
The only thing posh about Crawshawbooth is the fact Phil Neville used to live there (which also devalues the place a little as he was a footballer). The Cinammon Tree takeaway though is an absolute treasure!
Down Ampney is on our current favourite road ride.
Aston doesn't sound too posh but is in CMDs neck of the woods.
I pass thru Hinton Waldrist to get to Kingston Bagpuize.
Fotheringhay

"Fotheringhay has been distinguished beyond any other place in Britain, except the Capital, by the aggravated misfortunes of Royalty."
Robestan Wathen must rank up there as one of the best named but disappointing places.
Halfway always makes me smile as it is never that.
When I grew up over near York it was places like Sutton on The Forrest, Sheriff Hutton, Crayke, Sutton under Whitestone Cliff.
Used to visit the pub in Fotheringhay many years ago. It's the village where Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded.
yep the [url= http://www.thefalcon-inn.co.uk/new-menu/ ]falcon [/url]is quite posh
That's the place.

Mary Hill
Wikipedia tells me that maryhill was known as the Venice of the north...
Having been there in my youth, I fail to see the likeness
Woodhouse Eaves alwayshas a fairly posh ring to it. So does Market Bosworth. Croxton Kerrial too.
Tugby on the other hand....
Nether Wallop
Purston Jaglin
To fetch my meats I drive through George Nympton and my coffee comes from Budleigh Salterton, and it's bloody good.
Ainderby Quernhow
Have ridden through the Slaughters
Garnant, on the sunny Amman Riviera. Not too far from Llanelli, jewel of the Costa del Carmarthenshire.

Don't live there anymore but it's got to be Holmbury St Mary.
Not posh at all, but worth a s****

Out on the roady this morning went amongst others went through 'Woodford,Prestbury and Mottram St Andrew',
More locally 'Flowery field' which should really be named 'Pikey Sh!thole'.
I rode through Upper Arley and Areley Kings at the weekend. I don't know why they have slightly different spellings though.
We've also got Button Oak and Button Bridge near here, which always sound impossibly cute to me, as if they should be fictional villages on a kids TV programme.
We often go down into Hotley Bottom.
and my coffee comes from Budleigh Salterton
I always thought that place had been made up by Marcus Brigstocke.
Actually, "Marcus Brigstocke" sounds like it should be a posh English village.
Just along from Hotley Bottom is Little Missenden.
I ride through this nice golf course and country club called Skylark Meadows. The bridleway runs through it, but i'm always paranoid that some groundsman is going to shout "OI! Get awf my larnd!"
Even Google's streetview vans weren't allowed in 🙂

Hatley St George
Cold Christmas
Among loads of others. Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire are full of them....we iz well posh, innit.
Occasionally ride thru Leighton Bromswold. A small, not posh at all, hamlet but it does sport the Green Man; an unassuming pub with very well kept local beers and top notch, proper, home cooked fayre. Oh, and a proper skittles table too!
Cheers,
Jamie
Round Bush (Aldenham, Herts)
Kington Langley, Christian Malford and Lacock
Was about 150 miles into a 250 mile Manchester to London ride when i saw this place, picked my mood up as a good mate always says "give it some beans...." when you need to get stuck in.
