Yorkshire is universally beloved for many, many reasons. From its beautiful puddings to marvellous tea, God's Own Country has given us so much.
But among the long list of things we have to be thankful for, you can find a number of wacky place names.
Like many in England, the county is full of odd-sounding names. But perhaps nowhere has so many as Yorkshire, where it feels like there is one around every corner.
And they are not just silly, as many sound incredibly rude.
From Clap Gate to Wetwang, there are too many funny-sounding names to count.
But here are ten of the best, plus the meaning behind the cheeky monikers.

Penistone
Found in South Yorkshire, this historic market town's name does not mean what you might think.
Rather, it is is thought to mean "farmstead by a hill", with the beginning letters deriving from "penn", the Celtic word for hill.
Sexhow
Despite including all the letters needed to spell sex, Sexhow is not named after the act. Rather, it translates as Sek's mound, with Sek likely being a name.
Blubberhouses
If you venture across to North Yorkshire, you can find Blubberhouses.
While you might be forgiven for guessing the name is associated with whaling, there might be different, dark reason behind it.
Folklore has it Blubberhouses is named after the sound made by weeping children who used to pass by on their way to work at the mills in times gone by.
Netherthong
Unsurprisingly, Netherthong is not named after underwear. Instead, the Old English name is thought to refer to a narrow strip of land next to the township.
Clap Gate
While "gate" is self-explanatory, many might wonder what the "clap" part of this name refers to. Well, it has an innocuous meaning, as it reportedly refers to a type of gate - one that self-closes.
Hoo Hole
As hamlets go, you might be hard-pressed to find one with a ruder-sounding name than this. Despite how you might opt to use the phrase "hoo hole" elsewhere, in Yorkshire it refers to a place named for "a hollow by the spur of a hill", according to Leeds Live.
Crackpot
Found in Swaledale, this village name combines together English and Norse words - kraka (crow) and pot (pit).
Accordingly, Crackpot Hall, found nearby, does not mean what you might think it does.
Wetwang
Historians are not certain on the meaning of this name. While it could refer to wetness in a physical sense, given the dryness of the area, it is more likely to derive from a legal term meaning "'field of summons for the trial of an action."
Lumbutts
While "butts" often refers to bums, it here means "an abutting strip of land". When combined with "lumm", meaning "pool", you end up with the name of this remote Yorkshire hamlet.
Willitoft
Willitoft has appeared in numerous forms over the years, but regardless of the variations, each time the name appears it means "willow field", not whatever crude thing you were thinking of.
