Yes Ruth, Cornwall is the answer .Well done.

You can see the spoil heaps of the china-clay industry near St.Austell.

I think this was a joint effort with Vince who got the exact location. 

I'll put this quickie on anyway.

I was established in 1794 by two brothers called John & Hugh. The town I am in was built up around me.

What and where am I ?

Spot on Ken, I thought it was a bit easy, that's why it didn't give the brothers surname. Back to you Smile

What is the name of the ancient Roman road running past the catacombs of San Callisto in the suburbs of Rome?

I've walked one of these roads for miles in the hot sun, it was the Appian Way.

We toured the catacombs as well Ken, very impressive and very cool after the long slog out of Rome in heat which was should have known better than to walk in.

I'll be back later Smile

Sorry for the delay I forgot Embarassed

I am known as one of the sunniest places in Britain. I am a surfers paradise with wide open beaches and waves rolling in off the Atlantic.

Where am I ?
