From Land's End to John o' Groats Quiz

Answer: Shetland

Out Stack, or Ootsta, is the small and uninhabited island which has been called "the full stop at the end of Britain" for its significance as the U.K.'s northernmost point. Unsurprisingly, the Shetland Islands can boast a number of northernmost locations, such as the most northerly brewery in Britain, the Valhalla Brewery, and most northerly castle, Muness Castle.

Answer: Holy Island

Holy Island, with an area of just 39.4 sq km (15.2 sq mi), is the second largest island in Wales, after Anglesey. Its name comes from the many religion-oriented standing stones and burial chambers found there.

The town of Holyhead was home to Britain's first comprehensive school to which students were accepted based on catchment area rather than the previously administered "eleven plus exam", which was considered unfair and detrimental to a student's future.

The county of Anglesey is also home to a village famous for its lengthy name, called Llanfairpwllgwyngyll in its shortened form.

Answer: Exe

Exeter is the county town of Devon, and takes its name from the River Exe. The city is home to one of the narrowest streets in the world, Parliament Street, which runs 50 m (160 ft) long and dates from the 14th century, formerly called Small Lane. It gets as narrow as 64 cm (25 in) in width and only as wide as 1.22 m (48 in) at most.

The river's name comes from a Celtic word meaning "water", a name which it then lends to a number of settlements such as Exmouth, Exminster, and Exwick.

Answer: Firth of Tay

The River Tay and its firth were the site of the original Tay Bridge, built in the late 19th century of a well known cast and wrought iron combination to connect Aberdeen to Edinburgh. In December 1879 this bridge collapsed and dropped a six-carriage train of seventy-five passengers and crew into the waters of the Tay to their deaths. An enquiry into this disaster, which shocked the entire country, found that the bridge gave to way due to high winds which it was not able to handle. It is still considered the most famous bridge disaster in Britain.

Notoriously bad Scottish poet William McGonagall wrote three poems about the Tay Bridge, the first about the strength of the original bridge, the second about the bridge collapse, and a third about the new Tay Bridge built in its place.

Answer: Forest

Ashdown Forest in East Sussex can boast, among numerous other things, being the setting and inspiration of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories. It is said that some of the forest's sites can be recognised as ones described in the books. The forest is also home to the Ashdown Forest Llama Park, where visitors can take a llama for a walk through the park grounds for an hour and a half's time.

Tollymore is the name of Northern Ireland's first state forest park, which was established in the year 1955. The Titanic was built in Belfast using oak from Tollymore.

Answer: Ireland and Northern Ireland

The Irish word for the provinces, which are Connacht, Leinster, Munster, and Ulster, is a word literally meaning "fifth part". There was once a fifth province, Meath, meaning "middle", which was in the middle of the island. Though it disintegrated in the 12th century, it lent its name to the County Meath which exists in Ireland today.

Answer: England

Lowestoft Ness, or Ness Point, is also the site of Suffolk's first commercial wind turbine, which happens to be the tallest in the United Kingdom. Nicknamed "Gulliver", it was built in 2004 and is 126 m (413 ft) tall.

Holme Fen is a wetland, part of a National Nature Reserve in the village of Holme, Cambridgeshire, at 2.75 m (9 ft) below sea level. It has been sinking since the 1850s, when draining work began, by a total of about four metres (13 ft).

Answer: Lough Neagh

Irish legend has a charming story about the formation of the lake. It is said that the land where the lake now lies had been scooped up by the mythical Irish warrior Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn McCool) to throw at a rival Scot. When he missed, it landed in the Irish Sea and created the Isle of Man.

Belfast Lough and Strangford Lough are inlets rather than lakes.

Answer: Dee

There are several other rivers in Great Britain and Ireland with the name Dee. Their name is said to come from a word meaning "goddess" as part of the beliefs held by inhabitants in the area long ago. The River Dee which flows through Aberdeen has its source on a plateau of Great Britain's third highest mountain, Braeriach, at an elevation of about 1219 m (4000 ft).

Answer: Sheffield

Sheffield is home to Europe's largest urban greenhouse, the Sheffield Winter Garden. It was built as part of a "Heart of the City" regeneration project and opened in 2003. Inside the building is a computer-based system controlling fans and vents to keep its plants cool or warm depending on the season.

The plants, which number more than 2000 and come from around the world, are watered by hose or watering can so as to give each one the right amount of water.
