Cockermouth
, Cumbria

Three Cocks
, Powys

Twatt
, Shetland Islands

Bell End
, Northamptonshire

Sandy Balls
, Hampshire

Slack Bottom

Juggs Lane

Vied for a tag related to cocks, so here it is.
Cockermouth? But I barely know 'er.

Bell End is clearly the winner, whole thing is nonsense though. Covering these things up? They're on the fucking map.
 
And I thought all these where fictional names for laughs.

What if some cop asks for your details and you say Mike Hunt from Sandy Balls, you'd get copped.
 
Oh man, they didn't even include my favorite town in Austria.

At first glance I was wondering where Harrowgate, Wisconsin was. Then I was more confused as to why the BBC would be reporting on it.
