The Settlement Association Quiz!

This works in exactly the same manner as the Station Association Quiz, only this thread concentrates on the thousands of inhabited locales throughout Great Britain and Northern Ireland
----------------------------------

Rules:

• Repeating any of the previous three clues or names of settlements in a link is forbidden (you can of course quote a previous post)
• Associations provided should be clearly dissimilar to each of the previous three associations.
• Settlements may be anywhere in the United Kingdom.
• A description of the association should be incorporated in each posting, without simply posting the name only.

Looking at the rules of the quiz as shown above, I am sure that the Isle of Man is NOT part of the United Kingdom.
