Towns and cities

[spudnick]

A town or city is hidden in the sentence
1) The teacher praised little Johnny for his good work and handwriting
2) The cycling club biked the 19 miles from Exmouth to Dawlish in just over the hour
Last two, think 2 might be Stover, not sure.
Any help appreciated

[spudnick]

Sorry, should have put towns or cities in UK or Ireland. Thanks

1.............. something script?

[spudnick]

I thought Exmouth, but thought it might be too obvious.

[spudnick]

Thank you all very much

2) There is what my gazetteer calls a 'location' named Stover 2miles west of Chipping Sodbury, near a place called Yate. There is a Stover Road, and a Stover Trading Estate, but I cannot find a place called Stover that I can actually point to, and say 'that's it'.

Why is it Exmouth?

[spudnick]

The name is supposed to be hidden in the question so I thought Exmouth too obvious.
Raise is the 12th highest mountain, but I can't find a town of that name

[spudnick]

^^ 12th Highest in lake district
