Invercargill, the southernmost city in New Zealand 

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

Athens, Greece, dating back to well before 490 BC, when it successfully resisted the Persian king Darius at the Battle of Marathon, outside this City. This battle inspired the modern-day Olympic & Commonwealth running events, plus all the associated variations, when Pheidippides, an Athenian runner, ran from that battle, to Sparta, to convey the news & to summon help against the Persians.

And according to legend, gasped out "Rejoice, we conquer!", then dropped dead. Hopefully most modern-day marathon runners don't have the same experience. Shocked

Eel Pie Island, England. I found out about this small River Thames island, from a Tony Robinson travel documentary. It seems that this small island, which contains little more than a hotel, was a favourite haunt of fisherfolk & other boating people, where the best eel pies could be bought. Drool   Maybe a haunt for Puddleglum as well? LOL
