    Crapstone – Its on Dartmoor.
    I’m sure I drove past a place called Three Cocks in Wales once too.

    There’s some decent riding around Cocklicks, which, as we’re on the subject is just round the corner from Twathats. Dumfriesshire, not far from Dalbeattie.

    And in the northern isles Twatt crops up in a few variations.

    I have often found myself in Tomtit’s Bottom, but have yet to venture to Slutswell. And on my way to work I often go through Dunkirk and near Pennsylvania.

    Theres a place called bar end somewhere near the forest of Ae, near to Dumfries.

    Then there’s Sandy Balls near Fordingbridge, although it always seems to rub me up the wrong way….

    Cocking on the South Downs is always a favourite. Nearby is Cockshot Wood.

    Wet Wang & also ‘Land Of Nod’ – I did have a photo of the latter but I can’t find it.

    There’s a village near Londonderry called Muff. And just past the main road is the back road to Muff. A much tougher ride apparently..

    The builders merchant in Muff is called Divers as well, no joke….

    Loving the muff, bet those merchants get some stick! A place called cumguzlin cant be real! Really? Catherine slack is good, thong is such a good word! Really liking the Bell end Farm, does that make the farmer a bell end!? Can you imagine the conversation when he walks into the local?!!!Loving the lovelace yes I am old enough to know/remember the reference, RIP Linda. Be nice to organise a ride to some of these places, would love to be reading oout the route itinerary. Anyone who sniggers gets a ride forfeit! 😆

    I’ve been to a town called Moron in Mongolia and all I got was a charger for a Nokia.

    I always like the road out of Much Wenlock towards Shrewsbury as you have to go past Wigwig and Homer. I secretly hope that there is a Doh! somewhere close. There is also a shop in Knockin where there is, of course, a shop.

    Another favourite are the Wallops (Over, Middle and Nether) in Hampshire.

    My favourite local one that I just have to ride past is Bottom Farm. I just have a mental picture of the rows of the eponymous crops somewhere over the hedge.

    Bell End is 3 miles from my house

    I think you’ll find it’s a lot, lot closer than that… 😉

    We should be riding to Shiteburn Lane and Grope**** Lane on Saturday’s Pootle. they’re not called those rude things any more though. And unlike most of the otherwise innocent placenames on this thread, these two mean what they say. 😳 Which is why their names have bin changed.

    There’s a Benny Hill just above Hollingworth Lake near Rochdale, that one always makes me smile.

    Grope**** Lane

    Grape Lane in York wasn’t always called Grape Lane, it was renamed for precisely the same reason.

    Forgot the other ones round here, you can go via Cockshott Lane to get down Happersnapper Hanger and also via Queens Corner to get on the bridleway over Titty Hill.

    I was gonna say Penistone, which I always say Penis-tone, unlike the locals who say ‘Pennystun’. Anyways I can do a road ride through there and Thongsbridge, Netherthong and then Upperthong.
