Hmm. This depends on how strictly I apply the rule that says that.....Repeat clues are not permitted

Only similarities that are little more than coincidental, or related but at opposing ends of a scale, are now permitted.

This extract from the second rules revision should be noted.

The original meaning of llan in Welsh is "an enclosed piece of land", but it later evolved to mean the parish surrounding a church. Most places beginning with Llan have some connection to a saint, usually of the Celtic church. It is a common place name element in the Brythonic languages. In Cornwall and Brittany the element is usually spelled 'Lan' or 'Lann', occasionally 'Laun'. So with that we move onto Launceston in Cornwall.

Sorry to be somewhat pedantic, but North Foreland is more a a geographical area rather than a settlement
