You clever people. Yes Banbury. Oxfordshire. The original Banbury Cross ('Ride a cock horse to bambury Cross') was destroyed in 1602. The spiced Banbury Cakes were first produced eight years later in a bakehouse in Parsons Street. |

Sorry - been away again - yes , Yes Cheddar Gorge, Somerset. Caves surrounding the gorge were occupied during the last phase of the Ice Age. Cheddar Cheese is still made and sold there. You are in an ancient wool town which once had a castle and a cross made famous in a children's nursery rhyme. The town also gives it's name to a cake containing currants, spices and mixed peel. Where are you now? |

It's a long way away, beautiful but often cold and Kenny Ball played there once, late at night! Jacqui |

A Cathedral city on the River Calder, also has a prison that houses some of the most dangerous criminals in the country (infamous ones have included the Yorkshire Ripper, Harold Shipman, Ian Huntley) |

Sorry not to have come back sooner - yes it's Laugharne, Carmarthenshire. Home of the poet Dylan Thomas. Towering limestone cliffs rise to a height of 450 feet on either side of a narrow, winding road in an area famed for it's caves containing stalactite and stalagmite formation, and it's cheese. Where are we now? |
