Quoll Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I just love UK village names - Six Mile Bottom is my favourite, I have always wanted to live there but failing that I would give Nempnett Thrubwell a go. On our trip we visited Catbrain, Catcombe Burtle and Catcliffe - a definite feline trend coming through there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
