There's a place for us
Answers are specific locations in the British Isles, to include gepgraphical features of land or sea, places in fiction, landmarks, buildings, sporting venues, historical sites and, coincidentally, a few song titles. I am struggling with the following clues and wonder if somebody could kindly help me:
No. 1. The pug area? (3.4.8. letters)
No. 2. Handy if you're roamin' from London to York! (6.6. letters)
No. 3. Treat argument with contempt? (5.5. letters)
No. 4. Signal M in valley, formerly a farm? (9 letters)
Any hints, suggestions, clues, answers would be most gratefully received. Thanks.
