Fancy a trip to Twatt? Or a jaunt to Wetwang? We look at Britain's naughtiest named towns

Fancy a trip to Crapstone, Tittyho or Nob End this summer? Or are Cockermouth and Coxhoe more your bag?

The British are known for their daft, self-deprecating sense of humour. And whoever thought up such names as Shitterton, Brokenwind and Crackpot for some of its most picturesque towns, villages and hamlets must surely have been having a laugh.

After compiling a map of the funniest place names, online platform MyDatingAdviser rightly observed: "The UK is full of rude place names. The whole place is pure filth."

In Scotland, travellers could pass through several places with strange names like Brawl, Lost, and Whiterashes. And Yorkshire is home to its fair share, too – you can find the likes of Giggleswick, Wetwang, and Blubberhouses in this historic county.

Down south, drivers may pass through Donkey Town, Curry Mallet and Loose Bottom. In Wales, you can find Mumbles and Plwmp. While in Ireland, there is Stranagalwilly.

Amy Pritchett, editor-in-chief for MyDatingAdviser.com, said: "The English language never fails to amaze us, and neither do the delightful and funny names of these UK locations. The origin of these names dates back to Anglo-Saxon or Old Norse times.

"While you don’t pronounce them the same today, you can trace them back to Celtic, Roman and old Viking settlements. We’re not sure how residents of Nasty and Crapstone convince people they are lovely places to live.

"If you’re interested in visiting one of these towns, I recommend taking a memorable photo with the town sign after a long lunch at the local pub.”

Those wishing to complete the ultimate road trip of innuendo-ridden locations will have to clock up a fair amount of miles. Bit it would be worth it for the photos alone.
