Favourite place names?

Starter for ten: “The Kyle of Lochalsh”.

Hoots mon.

I ride past this place most days out on the brapper on the way to Salisbury plain.

I keep forgetting to take my swimming trunks.

Virtually everywhere in the galloway hills. The Clints of Dromore! The Dungeon of Buchan! Cairnsmore of Carsphairn!

the Noel Edmonds innuendo thread 😉

Ecclefechan – Dumfries and Galloway

Mankinholes.

Make me smiles every time.

No innuendos but I like

The sign on the M6 up near Lancaster somewhere for

mind you, imagine if you’d “stayed over” at mr Winton’s and were complimenting him on his brunch offering. 😯

Tree Magnet, Sting lives there, you know. 😉

Thornton le Beans near Northallerton always makes me smile.

Okay, some non-rude ones.

Tak-Ma-Doon Road[/url] (nice cycle route too)

Not far from me is a little village called “Once Brewed”, but if you approach it from a different direction it is signed as “Twice Brewed” 😀

I like the Kings Forest of Geltsdale, sounds like it should be in Middle Earth.

Wow, that twinning is actually true and not ‘shopped. Here’s its brother,

It’s even got a fan club

There’s a sign on the A68 up to Corbridge for a place called Wallish Walls.

I like the Kings Forest of Geltsdale, sounds like it should be in Middle Earth.

Another area with lots of good ones. I particularly like Scarrowmanwick and Ironfork Cleugh.

Poolewe

and for the Led Zep fans

The Land of Nod and Wetwang are 2 that spring to mind.

Here Not strictly a place, but would love to see if it lives up to its name.

However, this one in Norf Larndan always makes me smile.

Ramsbottom always make me giggle along with Blubberhouse and Oswaldtwistle

Drove through C*nter on the way to St Moritz, and there is a F*ucking in Austria…

We’ve got “Lost” and “Cockbridge” up in this part of the world. Both entertain my small mind.

“Shilbottle” north of Newcastle on the A1. the first “L” is regularly graffiti crossed to make it a “T”

there’s a village in the Calder valley called “Slack”, and there’s also a “Catherine Slack” between Halifax & Queensbury. Not far from Dunkirk too:
