Guiseley is situated in a hanging valley between Airedale and Wharfedale. A hanging valley is a tributary valley that is higher than the main valley.

Another example in Great Britain is Glen Coe. It's a valley of glacial origins, that cuts though volcanic rocks in the Highlands of Scotland. The main settlement is the village of Glencoe located at the foot of the glen.

One of the seemingly numerous ladies in Robert Burns's life, was Mary Campbell -- called by the bard, "Highland Mary" -- who was born in Dunoon (there is a statue of said personage -- her, not him -- in a prominent position in the town). Rabbie encountered, and celebrated in verse, another lass who took his fancy, near Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire.

Near to Pentridge we find Bokerley Dyke, a linear earthwork. In Ireland, the Black Pig's Dyke is another example of a linear earthwork. Amongst many places it is still visible at Rossinver, County Leitrim.

Merthyr Tydfil Town Hall (Welsh: Neuadd y Dref Merthyr Tudful) is a municipal building in the High Street. It was designed by Edwin Arthur Johnson in the Renaissance style, built in red Cattybrook brick with orange terracotta dressings by Harry Gibbon and completed in 1898.

Cattybrook brickpit began as a clay pit and brickworks. It is now a 2.2-hectare (5.4-acre) geological Site of Special Scientific Interest near the village of Almondsbury, South Gloucestershire.
