Engedi, Israel, beside the Dead Sea, an oasis city which still exists, & which King David visited in the Bible's 1 Samuel.

Ekron, an ancient Philistine city, one of five, where the Egyptian Pharaoh, Rameses III (1186 to 1155 BC) permitted the Peleset, also known as the Sea Peoples, in which to settle, the other four being Gath, Askelon and Ashdod, not to mention Gaza

Yarrow, on the Scottish borders with England, not to be confused with Jarrow, near Whitby, the home of the Venerable Bede, & the bloke who organised our BC & AD way of measuring the years.

Walton County, Georgia, US. The county is named after George Walton, one of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence. And fun mostly-unrelated fact: because George Washington was in New York City (there's York again!) leading the Continental army, his is not one of the 56 names.

Yaldhurst, a suburb of Christchurch NZ, formerly a semi-rural area on the edge of town. An early settler/horse breeder named a horse after Yaldhurst stables in England, and the area was eventually named after the horse!

There, shining in the sunrise, larger than they had seen him before, shaking his mane (for it had apparently grown again) stood Aslan himself.

Innisfail, Queensland. (When I lived elsewhere in Sydney as a schoolgirl, not far from us was one house with the name tag "Innisfail", & a neighbouring house one or two doors away had a matching name tag "Innisfallen". However, "ceud mile fáílte" means a hundred thousand welcomes in Irish Gaelic). Smile
