Pity Me is on my commute. As well as No Place, there's also Stoney Heap and Wallish Walls both near Consett.
I used to live in Cockfield too (no sniggering at the back)

I believe there's a scuba diving club in said town who have indeed gone for the tempting innuendo

At least I assume they're a scuba diving club as I'm a bit scared to click on the link
They are. It's a safe link.

Not a million miles from Wetwang, there is Thwing.

It used to be a bustling village, but Thwings aren't what they used to be...
Good cycling country out there, if you can avoid the motorcyclists.

Out beyond Otley is the nicely named Blubberhouses and if you carry on past Pateley Bridge you get to Glasshouses, where the locals take a very dim view on stone throwing.

Not quite in the same vein, but Bradford Sub-Aqua Club have their club-house, at practically the highest location in the 'BD' postcode area, in a village/area, called...... Mountain
1200+ feet above sea-level

You say that like it's a bad thing.
Now there's a thing. I'm up that way at the moment (although a bit further south).
Centre of the map... Gusset, Northumberland. And old shafts too
