Avebury has a rather larger example of a Bronze Age stone circle.

I remember getting this from primary school to Hyde baths. It’s gone up in the world a bit.

Unfortunately, though, there are no direct flights from the US to Leeds/Bradford. So the airport code of the nearest airport would be MAN.

I see what you mean, but all the cross-channel FlixBuses I’ve taken have always had two drivers. Out of about twelve journeys, only one took the tunnel, and it was running four hours late.

My Auntie Elsie always said, ‘If UCP on tripe, don’t eat it.’

I continued my walk along the Aire rather than the canal, so I can’t help, unfortunately. As a general point, as @THC hints, it is often difficult to work out whether tracks, embankments or towpaths next to rivers which are not public footpaths are walkable or not. Just a few km north up the...

When I walked this last year, I walked along the river as far as Fairburn Ings, then into the village with no issues. I have previously walked south along the Aire from Fairburn to Brotherton. I am unsure if you can walk along the river next to Brotherton itself: you may have to divert into the...

There are two in Leeds.

This is what I’ve also found using Flixbus, both here and abroad. I find it very civilised compared with having to ask a stranger sprawled across two seats to move up: the reservation is your authority. Unlike on trains, where the guard is nowhere to be seen (understandably), the driver is...

Whereas Tenby has an Upper and Lower Frog St, Rochdale has a Toad Lane, home of the co-operative movement.

The link above updates itself. To summarise, the driver, chaperone and two children were killed. Five children are critically ill. The minibus carrying them turned onto a level crossing where the barriers were apparently down. They were struck by a passenger train slowing down for Buggenhout...

Stainforth in South Yorkshire also has a greyhound stadium.

The whole thing was allegedly: "You have hissed my mystery lectures. You have tasted a whole worm. You will leave by the town drain”.

Hattersley was also originally an overspill settlement for Manchester.
