Neither Ulverston nor Bath Spa I'm afraid - in fact probably not even a practical day trip from either!

I was at the game too. Best I've seen Argyle play this season.

Not far from my ancestral part of the world. 

Quite an imposing station for such a small village.    See here.

Was used as a location in the Hinterland TV series.

Dovey Junction, of no road to the station fame, is in the far distance to the North East across the flatlands which surround the Dovey Estuary.
