Nicest place names...

[alexkp]

Following on from the rude place names thread, and just to show the world that we aren't all sniggering degenerates... how about the nicest place names you know of? Could be roads, villages, towns or anywhere at all.

I'll kick off with the wonderfully named Cold Christmas. A Hamlet near Thundridge, Ware.

Isn't Bad Wildungen the German town twinned with Saffron Walden? (Where I used to live...)

I live in the Val de Bievres - literal translation is Beaver Valley. It doesn't measure up to that in the Californian sense, but it does sound nice...

PUDDINGTON

York has a few....

Whip-ma-whop-ma gate

and Blossom Street (I think this is a lovely name, the street isn't great though).

There's a village I drive through on the way to Castle Combe called 'Tiddlywink' - how cool is that?

Pink Green somewhere near Redditch amuses me, always seems a bit indecisive!

I've been there a lot, there's a wood there with sculptures. And a golf course. Memories...

There's a place in Devon (I think) called Cross Fairy! I always imagine Dale Winton in a bad mood when I see it.

No contest, it has to be Nempnett Thrubwell!!
