EVER driven past a road sign that left you scratching your head or chuckling to yourself?

The UK is home to a plethora of place names that are, quite frankly, amusing for one reason or another. Imagine the laughs on a road trip visiting each of these places - though it would certainly take some time, especially with all photo opportunities.

In light of Frome being declared the most mispronounced place name in the UK recently, we've put together a list of some of the funniest place names you can find in the West Country.

Prepare yourself for a good laugh and a touch of immaturity!
