What unusual, interesting or amusing place names have you come across?
My favourite is probably Rhyme Intrinsica in Dorset. One near me that amuses many people is Nether Wallop - there are also Middle and Upper Wallops.

Dorset area seems to do quite well with good old Whitchurch Canonicorum and also Curry Rivel (Typo for Curried Rivel???) and also, of course the piddles and puddles:- Piddlehinton, Piddletrenthide,Puddletown, Tolpuddle (as in Martyrs) and Affspuddle.
My favourite though is Woolfardisworthy in Devon - pronounced Woolsery.
