The Funny Place Name Visit Challenge

[Stuart]

I lived about a mile from North Piddle until a couple of months ago so that one would've been easy. And strangely enough my big lad just sent me this from Slovenia

One place in Tallinn, Estonia that I opted not to visit:

I had an idea, which was to add places to the map with Westfield in its name, primarily streets and such, so I've done so.  These are marked with red flags.

 

After I did it, it transpired that all of them are in the North!  Interesting stuff.

 

Therefore and to be fair, I'm creating a separate category of most Westfield-named places visited that will be counted individually and not with the other place names.

I’ve added your Dangler Lane (swear filter kicked in) and four other Danglers to the list.

Added to the map.  That would be an epic first points entry in the contest but sadly, it wasn’t done in 2025 so I’m afraid it’s “nul points” as the French would say.  Sorry.

There are a few of them in Bristol, some would say thousands 😁

Congrats, you're the first to get on the scoreboard, you get an extra point for initiative!

There is a Westfield Drive in Loughborough you could add to the map.
