Dartmouth is lovely. When I went there, my father and I popped over to Kingswear afterwards - and found a shop selling Golly dolls hock:

Anyhow, Exmouth is another coastal Devon town on the mouth of a river.

Teignmouth is also where fine examples of the geological rock formations called Permian Breccias can be found.

 

[Temple Meads]

Clevedon also has a pier.

Helsby also has the remains of an Iron Age fort.

The parish church of Helsby was designed by the Chester Architect John Douglas.
St Mary's, Halkyn, is said to be "one of his best"

Wirksworth also has a very long historical association with the lead mining industry.

 

[Welshman]

Tissington

also holds a well-dressing ceremony.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Yeovil (as Givle) was recorded in the Domesday Book, as was Tissington (as Tizincton)

 

[Ivo]

Matlock shares an unusual trait with Yeovil in that both have names that can be changed into a different nearby settlement by adding an extra syllable to the end of it (albeit as an additional word in Matlock's case).

Keeping a Derbyshire feeling going.....

Filey (as Portus Felix) also had a Roman settlement...(The one in Buxton was called Aquae Sulis)

Ayr

Heads of Ayr also had a Holiday Camp Station

Ayr to my understanding is pronounced as in Air.

Cardington is well known for its Airship sheds.

Which is directly accross the River Tamar from Plymouth.

Not an issue. We had Clacton twice in five once. And even that has probably been beaten.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Frome had an even bigger find of Roman coinage.

 

[Ivo]

Where Frome is the home town of Jenson Button, Stevenage is the home town of Lewis Hamilton.

Telford is also a new town.

Thomas Telford designed the suspension bridge over the Menai Straits at Menai Bridge, or Porthaethwy
