Jacqui I'm stumped ;-((

Greenwich? Jacqui

Have another two from this little booklet Dee. Please let me know when I can put them in without spoiling the flow. (I'm a bit of an idiot!!!)

Jacquie, I would never have got that, guess it is the Cutty Sark Pilgrim Father please add another one now, I think all the previous ones have been solved (btw if you are an idiot you are in good company, I have often heard that word used about me) ;-)))

O.K. Here's another one. Elegant Regency houses grace this inland spa town noted for it's music festival, ladies' college and racecourse. Where are you now?

OK here's one from my own knowledge. A huge promenade and extensive grassy banks, a statue of a famous man who played bowls quite close before doing his duty, a lighthouse on dry land? - it served it's days on the Eddystone Rock. A view that is the envy of the world - Sound - but there is no noise. Where am I? It was Cheltenham.Gloucestershire. The saline springs which made the town a fashionable watering place were discovered in 1716. It's ladies' college is one of the leading public schools for girls, and the Cheltenham Music Festival has become an annual event. Highlight of the local racing calendar is the Cheltenham Gold Cup, run every March. Karen . Further to your understanding that it should be personal efforts I do always declare the source of my information - whether it be a book or news papers - and even the odd joke that I input.

Pilgrim Father, I think you are in Plymouth, :-)) Karen, mine have been odd facts that have come from my studies. I can't quote a source, but if any one questions any of my clues I would, hopefully, be able to substantiate them. This place is the birth place of Rupert the Bear and was where Thomas Becket was murdered Dee x

Does nobody know where I am ;-((

Canterbury Gwynne (off to the pub quiz)

Hi Gwynne, hope you win, and yes it is Canterbury ;-))

Hi I am in the place of crocks with a statue of a famous footballer and a great author Linda

That's Ok Karen, no probs ;-)) Can you guess the one I have just added??

In 2003 this place recorded one of the highest English summer time temperatures and is thought to be the place where Pocahontas was buried Dee x

Hi Caz I am not in Oxfordshire Linda I will have to put my thinking head on ;-))

Hi Dee Is it Oxfordshire? Caz xxx

Karen more south east than south, and not on the coast ;-))

Is it kent Dee? Caz x

Caz, it is in Kent, which town though?? :-))

Dee is it Canterbury? Caz xxx

Hi Caz, Gwynne got Canterbury for the Thomas Becket/ Rupert one. Pocahontas was somewhere different ;-)) Linda, crocks brings to mind Stoke on Trent, but not sure if that fits the other two clues ;-))
