Funniest place name?

[yellowjack]

Fulking, anyone? http://fulking.net/welcome/

A visit to the Fulking parish church? Or perhaps a pint at the 'Shepherd and Dog, Fulking'...

And what is the worse is that the road leading to it is "Childs Road"

Not sure about this bus destination in Italy.

Not at all rude. Near Looe (worth its own entry) in Cornwall is No Man's Land.

There's a Nomansland in the New Forest too. The next village to me is called Lover but it's pronounced Low-ver.

Never thought Shorpe was funny until I saw it was censored on here.

Also...Not rude, but near me.

No Place
Pity Me

And in Canada. You have to be a Geordie to get this....

Used to live near a tiny wee hamlet called Upper Carse.

More often than not the sign had the C of Carse painted over in white!

When I were a lad, we knew this by it's 'proper' name: Cowst Lane. Always seemed more fitting.

First one that sprung to mind for me, Ludford, about 10-15 minutes away from me.

I see that Butthole Lane in Shepshed, Leicestershire has been mentioned - I went to the football ground there a few years ago and someone did explain where the name originated, something to do with "butts" used in archery I think but I can't remember the full story now.

In the Cotswold village of South Cerney there's a lane called "Bow Wow" which has amused and mystified me in equal measure, and I also passed a pub once called the "Bunkers Knob" but I've forgotten where it was.

Beaverlick, Kentucky, which, incidentally, is just a few miles from Big Bone Lick State Park which can be accessed by following Bender Road...

[DaveGoddard]

Just remembered as well - the Lickey Hills south of Birmingham, within which is the Lickey Incline - Britain's steepest mainline railway gradient.

In the past they used to keep extra "banking" locomotives at the bottom of the incline in case a train needed an extra shove up the hill, and these were known as, you guessed it, Lickey Bankers! (Whether this entered the local language as rhyming slang is not recorded.)

This makes me chuckle every time I visit.

Complete with gratuitous beaver, too.

The specially built Lickey Banker was called Big Bertha https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MR_0-10-0_Lickey_Ban...
