Unusual addresses that raise a smile abound in the West Country. ELLIE KENDALL rounds up some of her favourite streets, villages and landmarks with comical monikers.

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, 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!
