Place Names

England has some of the weirdest and funniest place names in the world. This is an alphabetical list of some names I have seen myself, either on road signs or on bus/train destinations. Click on a name to get the Google Maps page for that place. (Each map will open in a new window.)

I haven’t personally visited all of these places. Yet. :-)

• Dorking
• Middle Wallop, Nether Wallop, and Over Wallop — This trio packs quite a wallop! (I could have sworn I had also seen a sign for Lower Middle Wallop, but Google Maps doesn’t know anything about it.)
• Tooting
• Two Ball Lonnen — How many is he supposed to have?
• [more to come]

And the winner is:

• Wetwang
