Watford is also the home of the famous JD Wetherspoon chain of public houses. Of all those currently under JDW control, the first pub to become part of the groups was the Rochester Castle in Stoke Newington. (Those that became part of the group before 1983 are no longer part of the group.)
And yes, I did use Wikipedia for this.

It also has fame in horse racing circles. Something that is certainly true of Cheltenham.

The Hutcheson Bridge in Glasgow was constructed to a design by Robert Stevenson, who was responsible for the design and construction of the lighthouse at Dunnet Head in 1831.

Just to clarify, Liazrd is a small village in the Lizard area, and the most southerly village on the mainland. I have already mentioned [part of] this to Paul by PM, and it is somewhat ambigious, so we may as well just play on.
I shall however provide a link that matches both Stranraer (before Lizard) and Glasgow, just to make things flow easily:
Ayr is also in the geographical south-western quarter of Scotland.

Dunfermline are quite Athletic, as are Oldham.

Paul might have you believe otherwise when playing at Boundary Park
Rather, they are seemingly lethargic.And speaking of the word lethargic, the name "Charlie" can be found mixed up in that word. Many that disapprove of the Royal Family refer to Charles, Prince of Wales, as "Charlie" in an effort to belittle him and his family.
Charles's estate as Duke of Cornwall covers large swathes of area, including that in which I live, close to Newton St Loe, just outside Bath.

Another area of land to come under the overlordship of the Duke of Cornwall is the ginormous conurbation he is constructing at Poundbury, near Dorchester, Dorset.

The mention of two settlements (Poundbury and Dorchester) can be linked as Poundbury Hill is the site of a strategically placed Bronze Age hill fort, whereas Dorchester is the site of Maiden Castle, which is the most famous hill fort in the south of England.
