The 'Pink Palace' of Drumlanrig, constructed between 1679 and 1689 from distinctive pink sandstone, is an example of late 17th-century Renaissance architecture.

The castle is listed as a Category A listed historic structure. Another such listed building is The Hall of Clestrain, a house, in the parish of Orphir, Orkney, Scotland.

Greenigoe in Orkney also lies on the route of the A964 road.

Greenigoe has a Bronze Age burial cist. There is a cist of this age also at Cut Hill on Dartmoor, about four miles north west of the nearest settlement, Postbridge, Devon.

Wycoller in Lancashire also has an ancient clapper bridge.

Hampstead was also used as a filming location in the 1970 BBC adaptation of Edith Nesbit's classic 1906 novel "The Railway Children".

 

[Calthrop]

Barnet (London Borough of...) is another Greater London location used in Cockney rhyming slang -- "Hampsteads" = teeth (Hampstead Heath); "Barnet" = hair (Barnet Fair).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Chadderton in Greater Manchester also has a place of worship called Christ Church.

 

[Tetragon213]

Chadderton was home to a factory in WW2 that built Avro Lancaster bombers

Warwick also has a namesake in the Australian State of Queensland (places concerned, in respectively the far north and far south of said state).

Longniddry in East Lothian also has a Collegiate Church.

 

[High Dyke]

Goltho, Lincolnshire also has a wood administered by the Woodland Trust.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Sotby in Lincolnshire was also once administered by the Wraggoe Wapentake.

Boosbeck (Redcar & Cleveland) also has a name which might be seen to have connotations of alcoholic over-indulgence.

Ashington also has a church to St Aiden

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Mitford in Northumberland also lies on the line of the River Wansbeck.

 

[Calthrop]

Mitford in Northumberland also lies on the line of the River Wansbeck.

We like this place in this game; and I'm getting short of things to say about it ! The name differs by just one letter, from Midford, Somerset -- just south of Bath (and very well-known to people like us, for a reason only hinted at here).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Combe Hay in Somerset was also once served by the Somerset Coal Canal.

 

[Calthrop]

Fuller's earth has also been mined at Woburn, Bedfordshire.

 

[High Dyke]

Under the 8th Duke of Bedford, a new parish church was completed in Woburn in 1868. It was equipped with a crypt beneath, which was originally intended as the burial place of the Dukes of Bedford and their family. In the end the dukes continued to use the ancient mausoleum at St Michael's, Chenies, Buckinghamshire.

 

[DerekC]

From Chenies it's a very pleasant few miles via the Chess Valley Walk to its end at Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Swinford in County Mayo also has a church that is dedicated to Our Lady Help of Christians.

 

[Calthrop]

I'm at it again -- a slight anagrammatising of Swinford, gives us Winsford in Cheshire.

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Wrenbury in Cheshire East also lies on the line of the River Weaver.

 

[Tetragon213]

Wrenbury lies on the Llangollen Branch of the Shropshire Canal

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Glydyfrdwy in Denbighshire also lies on the line of the River Dee.

 

[Calthrop]

Historically, Glyndyfrdwy features in Owain Glyndwr's rebellion against English rule, in the first years of the 15th century. Glyndwr's manor was at Glyndyfrdwy: in the fighting attendant on the rebellion, this immediate area was devastated in 1403 by the forces of Henry of Monmouth, the English Prince of Wales -- who later became Henry V,

Warkworth in Northumberland also has a fortified medieval bridge (there are only two such in Great Britain).

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Abberwick in Northumberland was also once under the jurisdiction of the Alnwick Poor Law Union.

 

[Calthrop]

Abberton, Essex -- four miles south of Colchester -- is also among the first half-dozen names in the index of my Michelin Britain Road Atlas.
