Given up on this quiz but...I disagree with........
7 & 39 both Taunton?
19 a pool isn't a stream, a 'burn is
22 is 3,5
25 check the spelling
29 Ayrshire isn't a town
34 spelling
41 St Asaph doesn't have an 'e' (not yet a city) Preston is newest but that makes preston x 2

Mass

I know we have Taunton twice but can only find Taunton as answer for the fish market and cannot think of anything else for carry on provoking.

Any help welcome

Looking at the quiz. It says "The journey from Lands End to John O'Groats"
I'm the same as you retra with Taunton & also Preston twice.
I've was doing this since February.
Unless the person was going round in circles, I'm stumped, that's why I've given up!
Best of Luck
