Trying to think of any other towns where it's named after a landmark.

MisterTommyH · 16-12-12, 10:19 AM

There must be several, but they're likely to be smaller places.

A couple if the larger ones: Bath (and one of the historic baths it is named after),
Lands End (and the end of the land) - note it had to be the landmark though and not a sign with the writing on...

Wonder what Bristol's named after then.........

L3nny · 16-12-12, 03:41 PM

I suppose that would work with any Spa town.

Leamington pump rooms here I come!!

Well I would do if either of my bikes were on the road :/

MisterTommyH · 16-12-12, 05:09 PM

Yeah, that would do Lenny. Provided that it was actually the Leamington Spa.

However I'm going to be a bit pedantic and say that unless there is an object called a Wensley (or a building or something similar) then Wensley in Wensleydale is just an area named after another rather than a landmark....sorry.

I'd also guess that most falls are named after the location ther are found in rather than the town being named after the falls... Unless there is some specific feature that means they are called that.... Again sorry :-/

Wensley is a village, a village is a landmark, its in Wensleydale! Yeah, your just jealous that we went out on the bikes today.... I hope you notice the sunshine

*Being pedantic now, but I managed to get both pictures to incorporate what was requested!*

I'm more upset because it was meant to last more than one day.......
