Map shows some of funniest place names in UK you could visit in 2021

Brits have been urged to spice up their 2021 travel plans by arranging a wacky road trip to visit some of the weirdest place names around the UK.

Spunkie, Wetwang and Catbrain are just three of many towns, villages and hamlets cheeky travellers could tick off on the Wacky UK Road Trip Map compiled and designed by LeaseCar.uk.

In Scotland, travellers could pass through a number of places with funny and strange names like Brawl, Brokenwind, Lost, and Whiterashes.

And Yorkshire is home to its fair share too – Crackpot, Giggleswick, Wetwang and Blubberhouses can all be found in this historic county.

Down south, drivers may find themselves passing through Donkey Town, Curry Mallet, and Brown Willy, and Loose Bottom.

In Wales, travellers will find Mumbles and Plwmp whilst in Ireland, residents of Stranagalwilly might have a hard time being taken seriously.

A spokesperson for LeaseCar.uk said: “The English language never fails to amaze us, and neither does the imagination and creativity that must have gone into naming these iconic places around Great Britain and Ireland.

“We’re not sure how residents of Nasty and Crapstone convince people they're nice places to live with names like that – Bunny in Nottinghamshire sounds much better!”
