Greenock also has a station (Fort Matilda) that was designed James Miller (though it certainly isn't as beautiful as Wemyss Bay!)

Wrong quiz? This is the Settlement Association Quiz....not the Station Association Quiz,

Just for the sake of good order, the extract above is from the guide notes on the very first posting of the quiz
Nearby Ardrossan is another location you can catch a ferry in western Scotland.

Was it not Saltcoates in the previous posting that this association was meant to follow on from?

Ah... struck out. Mea culpa. I rather like the way Professor Predictive changed it to burgh of harmony, rather than barony. I wonder if it was.

South Shields, like Saltcoats, was also a centre of salt production.

Sorry, but the association should have been with Beer, not Saltcoates.....see the previous posting.

But Beer related to the incorrect link with Honiton, incorrectly linked with Ardrossan, so I made a new link, South Shields, with the correct original, Saltcoats.

Beer, like South Shields, has an adjacent area of cliffs with grassland above, protected in both cases by the National Trust
(I was determined to get there somehow!)

Porthmadog, like Lyme Regis, has a stone-built sea defence work called "the Cob", although there is a difference in current spelling.

Rhyader is along the route of National Cycle Route 8 (or NCR 8), a route of the National Cycle Network, which runs from Cardiff to Holyhead. Rhyader is on the section that runs from Brecon to Machynlleth; further north from Rhyader, it runs through Staylittle in Montgomeryshire.
