Near Yelverton, in Devon, on the fringes of Dartmoor, there are two settlements called Crapstone and Chipshop. I understand that at least one or two members of folk royalty live in the vicinity.

Some interesting place names include the twin cities Dull and Boring. Dull is in Scotland and Boring is somewhere in America.
