2. Holyport

I think Holyport is a village. I was thinking it could be ?something Isle (Aisle)?

[TheWinner]

In fact, when I checked Holy Isle, it redirected me straight to Lindisfarne. Also known as Holy Isle, Holy Island and Lindisfarne apparently.

2 Kirkwall?

Trust quinie. I'm thick, she isn't. Well done quinie, I'm sure you're right - as usual!

[quinie]

Hi TW,you're far from thick and I'm certainly not always right. I would never have got Woking-was completely on wrong track.

Thank you all. I like Kirkwall very much, I think it fits the answer perfectly.
I have spent holidays there but it never entered my head as the answer to the clue. Thank you all again.
