Sherston, England
Sherston-Upon-Nothing-Much
"Where the bypass forgot to stop"
Official Coat of Arms
The shield bears a golden mobile phone mast rampant upon a field of verdant nothingness, flanked by two dormant shops with faded 'To Let' signs. Above, a crown of ancient stones reminds all that even prehistoric people found better places to settle permanently.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★☆☆ 3/5
"Lovely little village if you enjoy the thrill of wondering if that's actually a shop or just someone's house with ambitious signage. The highlight was definitely spotting three cars in one day on the high street. Perfect for those seeking the authentic experience of rural England where the most exciting thing is debating whether the pub is actually open or just has optimistic lighting."— CarolFromSwindon47, Swindon
