Thanks Rusty. I thought it might be abandon but couldn't get the link (abaddon)

That makes the last one :

d?u?o Hard old flower. Any thoughts ?

As Harrhy says, River Douro in Portugal.
A river is a flower.

Thanks Harrhy

I understand the make-up (dour + o) but don't recognise the answer as a flower or river
