Should have made a detour to Pratt’s Bottom.
Lots of side trips available to places such as Upper and Lower Dicker (East Sussex), Scratchy Bottom (Dorset) and Minge Lane (Worcestershire).
If you want a shorter trip you can go from Blue Ball to Paradise. The road goes through Intercourse.

Ooh, I should be near a few of these in a couple weeks. Might as well make the stop.
Nothing beats, Fucking, Austria:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugging,_Upper_Austria
"Fugging (German: [ˈfʊkɪŋ] ⓘ), spelled Fucking until 2021, is an Austrian village (…)
Augustina Lindlbauer, the manager of an area guesthouse, said that the area had lakes, forests, and vistas worth visiting, but there was an “obsession with Fucking”, and she had to explain to a British tourist “that there were no Fucking postcards”.
I refuse to spell it any other way than Fucking.
Yes, I too was a reddit user from approximately 2010-2020
I am equally impressed that the journey is over 1k miles, considering the entire island is about 600 miles top to bottom. An extra 400 miles of no straight roads.
I heard the phrase, “as the bird flies” recently in reference to the 600 miles type of measurement and thought that was neat
“As the crow flies” is a pretty common expression on this very isle
They have twatt swag too!
I just confirmed that all of those places are real as depicted
I always thought Twatt and Shitterton were so close to each other… Shows what I know
The best part about Shitterton is that the name comes from “sewer town.” Not another language, no alternate meaning, it is just as it sounds in modern English.
Since I’ve seen this route I’ve constantly came
Quick, someone print out and photocopy this photo
Texas checking in… We don’t have as good of names like that but we have cities like Paris, Athens, and Odessa, TX. I think there are maybe 20 to 25 international city names that would make a fascinating road trip and probably be over 1K miles/1600 Km.
Although still not as good as these, Texas does have some weirder names. Point Blank, TX and Cut and Shoot, TX are two that come to mind.
So when I hear that someone got shot at Point Blank, they were in Texas. TIL
you can claim you traveled to all those cities and hope people don’t have a follow-up question
You can go see the Parthenon (full scale) and a Pyramid (not accurate) in Tennessee
There are some random things around the U.S. that often get overlooked.
How are you not mentioning that you can buy guns at the pyramid?
That’s a very important detail.
Are there any respectable places in Tennessee that you can’t buy both beer and guns? I mean hell, Walmart is supposed to be the low bar. If you can get a 12 pack, a shot gun and a few hundred shells and walk out without needing anything but an ID showing your 18, well this ain’t America
They weren’t exactly shy about what places were for in the middle ages. This is where the brothels used to be.
Also, Shitterton is literally called that because it was downstream from where all the sewage was flowing.
