Place names?

[spiralsheep]

Dear fellow flaneurs,

rydra_wong mentioned the surreal place name Bird in Hand Passage (link goes to flickr) in a report here, and I recently walked along the delightfully named Little Penny Rope, so I'm wondering: have any of you visited any places with memorable names, or are there places on your hypothetical "to visit" list just because of the name?

Somewhere you've been or somewhere you want to go or just somewhere you're glad exists? It sounds like the location of a sweet but surreal children's story to me.

I've been! The story of "how I happened to be in Hull last Easter morning" is a strange one and involves Tony Benn.

I would demand anecdotage but I suspect you've already confessed the best bits, heh.
