6 Interesting (And Amusing) Place Names
Have you ever been out for a drive with the family and seen memorable (and sometimes amusing) place names? That's the subject of this week's blog post - we've collected together 6 memorable place names for the kids to enjoy. Why not send us the names of places you've found for a future blog post!
1. Monkey's Eyebrow, Kentucky, USA. We wonder what the history behind this name is!
2. Boring, Oregon, USA. Don't get too excited about this one!
3. Giggleswick in Yorkshire. Tee-hee!
4. Banana, Queensland, Australia. A small town found in the Shire of Banana (of course!).
5. Brilliant, Ohio, USA. This one is just brilliant!
6. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, North Wales. We hope we spelt that correctly! This name is impressive - it holds the record for the longest place name in Europe.
