18 out of 25. Interestingly (?), two of the answers are local and I've cycled through one of them multiple time this year.
There are theories at the bottom of my jargon.

Ugley? Not far from Nasty of course - used to love riding that NE Herts area when I lived in Hitchin, feels surprisingly remote. Plenty of silly names round there, Bill Bryson would have a field day - Pinchbools, Maggots End etc. Lots of "Ends". I'm pretty sure there was a Knob End round there somewhere.

Re: OS MAP PUZZLES
15/25 for me. Bit disappointing since I knew some of them, but I'll get over it.
Someone gave me it for Christmas. I thought it was a great present, but quickly realised I'd rather just look at a map, which I can do for hours.
