Holyhead Is a settlement on an island that has a road connection to the mainland.

 

[Ivo]

To reach Holyhead from the rest of the country (well, not Anglesey), you have to pass over the Menai Strait. Another famous Strait is the Dover Strait.

Of course, the two are also well-known ferry terminals, and are probably the principal terminal for the destination country/countries they serve.

 

[Welshman]

Double-link there as "Holy Island" is the name for the Isle on which Holyhead stands, and an alternative name for Lindisfarne

Fishguard

Crystal Palace

Joseph Paxton designed both Buxton Railway Station and the Crystal Palace

 

[Ivo]

Is Crystal Palace really a settlement?

 

[Welshman]

I thought it was - situated in the London Borough of Bromley and taking its name from the Crystal Palace moved there from Hyde Park after the Great Exhibition of 1851.
Crystal Palace Railway station was built in 1854 to convey visitors to the building, and although the Palace itself burned down in 1936, the station remains to serve the inhabitants of the area, who presumably describe themselves as living in Crystal Palace.

However, I would be happy to be proved wrong.
