18. New Orleans - ray951
19. Weymouth - bradshaw
21. Dawlish - Surrey 455
22. Swanage - Jaymac
23. Porto - Timmer
24. Wexford - Kempis
25. Looe - TonyN

I love the side comments and further detail in some of the answers; for consistecy I logged just the place name and the person correctly identifying them here.   Many gems amongst them and I hsve been so lucky to have had the opportunity to visit them all, in person, over recent years.

Just one left
