Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View, work out my location.
Although Roman, THC’s chief puzzlewright, would be interested to know how long it takes you to solve this solo foxer, he’d rather you didn’t put spoilers or solutions in the comments.
Today you’ll find me close to a whitebeam tree in an English coastal village that has a photograph of morris dancers on its Wikipedia page. Within a national park and blessed with an evocative name, the village in question is in a county that is larger in area than Crete. Today, the nearest in-use railway station to my location is over four miles distant, seventy years ago it was a five-minute walk away. A 50 mph crow-flight to the home ground of the closest (2025-26 season) Premier League football team would take around an hour and cross more water than land. The nearest youth hostel shares part of its name with a word game.
You are probably in the right place if you can see…

- A lounging smuggler
- A partially tiled roof

(Last week I was here)
Nice location! It was maybe the easiest “Where I am” I ever solved, even though I lost some time trying to google the meaning of “lounging smuggler”… Was it slang? Was is similar to a “budgie smuggler”?? :-))
