Sandy Balls

... is an area of woods and parkland on the western edge of the New Forest, just within the New Forest National Park. It includes a holiday village of the same name. In the words of Wikipedia, "Due to the estate's name having a humorous sound in Modern English colloquial usage, Sandy Balls has been used in various jokes and comedies."

Wikipedia also informs us that "The estate's name has been traced as far back as the reign of Henry VII. It appeared on maps and other documents of the time as 'Sandyballas', which is the description given to the dome–shaped sand and gravel outcrops on the western boundary of the site. Many of these outcrops remain, including ones called Good Friday Hill and Giant's Grave."
