Wondering whether No 86 should read Garden of England instead of Garden of Eden, or has anyone found a county called that? I know the setter is prone to spelling mistakes, so thought this may be a typo. Appreciate anyone's thoughts.

You have had responses on the earlier thread.

[lindyloo1947]

Can't see them, so assumed it didn't get posted!

Thank you, Mamyalynne, now found it, but still confused. I live in Kent so know that that is not the Garden of Eden, and as it definitely refers to a county am loathe to consider the Eden Project and Cornwall. Will just keep plodding on. Many thanks again.

It's a bit of a long shot but it fits the clue well . . .

Several sites on Google refer to the county of Kent as the Garden of Eden - can't argue with that.

[Mamyalynne]

The fact that the question asks for a County makes me think it's an error.

I may try to contact the setter tomorrow.

[Hazlinny]

But Kent is a county!

[TheWinner]

and so is Cornwall.

[Hazlinny]

I am just following the many references on Google to Kent being the Garden of Eden. Surely they must be correct?

[Mamyalynne]

I have always known Kent as 'The Garden of England'.

Good luck all whatever you decide.
