The Joker is quite right. 3 x Four Crosses in the AA book.
Two in Powys and one in Staffs but none near the coast.

Wasn't PRESTON a cyberdog associated with Wallace and Grommit? Lots of PRESTON'S in the UK, one must be on the coast - I'll check.

re: XXXX ...

An Australian beer company has quite a famous brand called "Castlemaine XXXX".

I don't know if answers for this quiz extend as far as the entire British Isles but there is a coastal town in Co.Kerry called Castlemaine.
