Funny Place Names.
Sadly I can't top that last post.
However here in South Africa we have a city called Bloemfontien which, when translated, means Flower Fountain.
hmmm... the strangest name I can think of in this area is the name of a road...
Catchemandcookum Road.

Cornwall's highest point is called "Brown Willy", and if you take a detour from Offa's Dyke just south of Ross on Wye (and south-east of Three Cocks), you can climb up Lord Hereford's Knob.
There is a place in Ireland called ''Muff''. Apparently people go diving there!

Hi there chess loonies, anyone fancy a bit of a laugh? As I lie in bed, on this fine Saturday morning, I have been thinking about amusing place names that I have passed by or seen on maps. For intance, there is a village in Yorkshire called Wet Wang, a street called Bell End in the West Midlands and it has come to my attention that there i a place called Myanus in Connecticut. Can anyone top these? I'm gonna look for some more (maybe I have too much time on my hands!)
