Further to the nickname thread, what about places with interesting/amusing REAL names?

For some reason I have always laughed at Six Mile Bottom near Newmarket and have just moved to near a place called Cum Cum Lane which raises an immature smile every morning when I drive past. Lyminge is another.

So let's have yours!

Well, as we haven't done this for about a year, there's a Brown Willy in SW England and a fking (Austria).

Westward Ho! is the only place in Britain with an exclamation mark in its title, apparently.

I stand to be corrected.
