Amusing Place names in Great Britain

between Bishop’s Stortford and Stevenage.

Penistone any one?

My regular roadie route takes me through Nomansland

‘ding dong’ is just up the lane from me, but the one i wonder why its called thus is a few miles awaw ‘knave go by’.

I remember passing this school in Wedmore, Somerset after getting lost near Wells once.
There is also a pub called Sexeys Arms, and it’s all situated on Sexey Road.
In the appropriately named Wedmore village 😆

Bawdrip in Somerset, driving down to Glastonbury from Scotland for the festival we used to pass a sign to the place, always raised a laugh.

Incidentally, doing that that job we once visted a Mr Gardener that lived in Uphill; well, it amused us then…

The next village along is Leg O’ Mutton.

I ride past this road quite often when im heading for the North Downs- it’s just up the road from me 😀
