Well there’s Ramsbottom up this way.

But there are many villages in East Anglia and the south of England with quaint names.

There is always the good old standby of llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch in Wales.

It means – “St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave”.

For some strange reason this forum puts a space in between silio & gogogoch. It would appear that this forum has a 50 character limit on a word.
