Well, there is a Gowerton (just about) on the peninsula, so I guess that's close enough.

To carry things forward, Wales isn't overendowed with places beginning with J but locally we tend to refer to Llandudno Junction simply as Junction, so I hope that will do. :wink:

Well, if we were using the Welsh alphabet, neither of those would begin with 'L' since 'Ll is considered a separate letter in Welsh (as are 'ch', 'dd', 'ph', 'th', 'ng', 'ff' and possibly one or two others which have slipped my mind). It would have nicely avoided troublesome letters like 'J' and 'K' too (as well as 'X' which is bound to stump us when we get to it).

Still, to keep things simple we should probably stick with the English alphabet for this round. Which means we're on to 'O'.

Queensferry is just inside the Welsh border, near Chester (which isn't).
