If we are going to get childish what about 'Mother Dunch's Buttocks', another name for Wittenham Clumps, which I was looking up this morning. Rhiannon even gives the name an 18th provenance, a lady who planted the trees....

I love the view over to Brightwell barrow from the there.

re place names, we once drove through a place called 'Meanus' in Ireland.
I'm sure it's probably pronounced 'Mean-us' but that didn't stop us imagining possible conversations. 'Where's Sean?', 'Oh he's up in Meanus' etc.

It passed the time anyway.
