The towns and idyllic hamlets of rural Britain have gone head to head in a new survey - to find the UK's most unfortunate place name.
There were many contenders, but the tiny collection of homes known as @!$%#terton on the edge of the village of Bere Regis , has come out on top.
The tiny settlement between Dorchester and Poole beat the nearby valley of Scratchy Bottom, near Durdle Door in Dorset and Brokenwind in Aberdeenshire in the survey by www.findmypast.co.uk.
@!$%#terton comes on top of list of Britain's worst place names including Pratts Bottom, Crapstone and Slag Lane... but those who live there insist it's still a lovely place to live
