Leeks (the vegetable) are a symbol of Wales, whose capital is Cardiff

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Mold in Flintshire also has a Crown Court.

 

[Calthrop]

There is held in Mold, an annual November Fest -- a beer festival at venues in and around Mold to promote real ale, cider and wine. Clearly a "cog on" Munich's Oktoberfest... similar doings in Pocklington, East Riding of Yorkshire: which holds in October, a beer festival which it calls the "Pocktoberfest". (Heaven only knows what the citizens of Munich would think about these events, should they be aware of them .)

 

[Tetragon213]

Pocklington shares its name with that of a naval author, who's first book was on HMS Belfast, named obviously for the city of Belfast.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

East Cottingwith in the East Riding of Yorkshire also lies on the line of the Pocklington Canal.

Too late in making this posting.

East Cottingwith in the East Riding of Yorkshire also lies on the line of the Pocklington Canal.

Should this not be an association with Belfast?

....in which case I shall offer Lisburn in Co. Antrim, which also lies on the River Lagan.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Glenrothes in Fife also has a church that is dedicated to St Paul.

Cumbernauld is another Scottish post-war new town.

 

[Calthrop]

Woodland parts around Cumbernauld are -- surprisingly, and pleasantly -- a good place to see pine martens. These animals also thrive in the area of Killarney, Co. Kerry.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sligo in County Sligo also has a racecourse.

 

[John Griffiths]

Poet W B Yeats is associated with Sligo, and is buried in the county, but was a member of the Protestant ascendancy, born in Sandy mount, Dublin, and raised and educated in his youth in England, including in the west London suburb of Chiswick.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Acton in West London was also once administered by the ancient Hundred of Ossulstone,

 

[DerekC]

The name Acton apparently means "Oak Farm" and it is said to be plausible that the oaks referred to were the same ones as gave their name to nearby Old Oak Common (also in West London)

 

[Tetragon213]

Leighton Buzzard is also on the Grand Union Canal

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Tingrith in Bedfordshire was also once administered by the Hundred of Manshead.

 

[Tetragon213]

Hartwell also lies next to the M1

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Shedfield in Hampshire also has a church that is dedicated to St John the Baptist.

 

[D6130]

Titchfield in Hampshire also has a pub named The Wheatsheaf.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Corhampton in Hampshire also lies on the line of the River Meon.

 

[Calthrop]

Low Ham, Somerset -- four miles west of Somerton -- also has a church which is not dedicated to any saint "or similar".

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Babcary in Somerset was also once under the jurisdiction of the Langport Poor Law Union.

 

[Calthrop]

Adderbury, Oxfordshire -- three miles south of Banbury -- is another of the very many places in England, with a pub called the Red Lion.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Hayes in Kent also has a church that is dedicated to St Mary the Virgin.

 

[High Dyke]

Moor Park, Hertfordshire also has the London LOOP long distance footpath pass through its environs.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Moor Park, Hertfordshire also has the London LOOP long distance footpath pass through its environs.

Isn't Moor Park a gated private estate?

 

[High Dyke]

Isn't Moor Park a gated private estate?

It is classed as that. I would ask if it counts as a location in its own right. However, to save any ambiguity I have amended my entry to a recognised place.

Moor Park, Hertfordshire also has the London LOOP long distance footpath pass through its environs.

 Uxbridge, West London also has the London LOOP long distance footpath pass through its environs.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Thanks....

Oxhey in Hertfordshire also lies on the line of the River Colne.

 

[High Dyke]

St Mary the Virgin, Great Warley, Essex also contains art nouveau decoration.

Oxhey's parish church is St Matthew's, a Grade II listed building dating from 1880 in Gothic Revival style with some elements of early Art Nouveau decoration.

 

[Tetragon213]

Just up the road from Great Warley, paradoxically, is the larger settlement of Warley, Brentwood.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

North Stifford in Essex was also once administered by the Hundred of Chafford.
