Odd place names.

.... and its only a few miles from Pennsylvania* to New Zealand* .......
* South Glos and Wilts

There's a Bishop Auckland near Middlesborough, if it's any connection?

Plus, a Wakefield (my home city) in New Zealand, on the South Island

California and New Zealand are both in Derby.

There's a Wellington Plantation, to the east of Garforth (east Leeds, near Peckfield Bar; A63/A656 junction), that is in an area that is marked on old maps as New Zealand

I'm sure there's a California in West Yorkshire too, but for the life of me, I can't think where it is, at the moment

Egypt is in West Yorkshire and the Idle Working Men's Club, Bradford

Bet me to it, & there was (now demolished/collapsed), a 'Walls Of Jericho
Egypt is north-west of Bradford, twixt Denholme & Thornton
Plus a Worlds End
There's also a New Holland nearby


There's also an 'Idle Athletic Club'
The WMC used to do a line of souvenir t-shirts, with the guy leaning on his shovel

We've done Fartown in Huddersfield, and Slack Bottom, there's a place in Huddersfield called Solid. Laundry fanatics will get In a pickle about Stainland, near Barkisland. Nearer to @ColinJ there are two landmarks on the OS map, called Pissen Clough, and Shitten Clough. There's a Bolton Percy near York, which isn't as famous for gender reassignment as the name might suggest...

I've seen, or been to/through all of these

Land of green ginger in Hull, The land of nod East Yorkshire, Morley Bottoms (of Beryl Burton fame) Barley Mow County Durham, Triangle outside Sowerby Bridge.

I'm sorry, I had my maps crossed

Wellington Plantation is where I stated, but, New Zealand is off Lotherton Lane, between Aberford, & Lotherton Hall
it's not marked on the present maps, even at 1/50,000, but is there on a 1954 edition

There's a village called Bethlehem near me. It used to have a Post Office, and apparently the queues at Christmas were legendary.
