Scratchy Bottom (or Scratchy's Bottom) is a clifftop valley between Durdle Door and Swyre Head in Dorset, England.〔Rude Britain: The 100 Rudest Place Names in Britain by Ed Hurst and Rob Bailey ISBN 0-7522-2581-2 〕 A dry valley in the chalk, it is surrounded by farmland at its sides and landward end, with cliffs at the seaward end. The name is thought to refer to a rough hollow. The location came second after Shitterton, also in Dorset, in a 2012 poll for "Britain's worst place name" carried out by the genealogy website ''Find My Past''. Scratchy Bottom was the location for the opening of the 1967 film ''Far from the Madding Crowd'', in a scene in which Gabriel Oak's sheep are driven over a cliff by his sheepdog.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Far from the Madding Crowd (1967) - Filming locations )〕 == See also == * List of places on the Jurassic Coast 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scratchy Bottom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
