Ever fancied putting your foot down on Kiss Me Arse Steps or taking a ramble to Slapper's Rock but have been too embarrassed to ask the way?
Walkers searching for the best route down to Scrubby Bottoms or picking their way through The Nostrils can consult a new range of online guides to the slightly rudely named places of Britain.
Ten walking guides to some of our silliest-named beauty spots are now available to download free from the National Trust, showing the way to Booby's Bay in Cornwallhole and Windy Gap in Surrey.
According to Paul Cavill, editor of the English Place-Name Society journal, such names are very old. "Most describe the geography or land ownership, so finding out the meaning may be useful to walnkers," he said.
