Tricky indeed. I'd need to Google like Statts did to get the right answer.

I thought the idea was to have a guess first, and then use google/other means to confirm the info when someone else suggests something different ...... It's called learning from your mistakes, Do you suggest we take what someone else says on the net as gospel without checking?

You should take it as gospel if I'm telling you.

I'll give you all a clue then;

It's in the South West of UK and after getting the Steam train you can take a passenger ferry to your final destination.
