    Went there some while ago - but as I couldn't remember its name I merely googled "British cathedrals".....

    Right here is your challenge - what is the area called & where is it?

    Is that Lookout Mountain? Lookout Mountain, if that is indeed it, is in Georgia or Tennessee, famous for a US Civil War battle.

    Nope but you are on the correct side of the pond - but the wrong bit of the Americas ...

    Ugh! It looks like the "Old Man of the Falls," or something like that, in Minnesota, but that one is part of a long rockface. . .

    Seems like nearly every rock formation that looks like a person apparently looks like an Old Man (or Lincoln or Washington) or an Old Woman (or witch) or an Indian. At least in the U.S. that's so. Don't know this one off-hand and it is hard to search.

    As I said before you are looking in the wrong bit of the Americas - the Americas are not just the USA! Look South......& UFOs.....

    Darn! It's Marcahuaxi in Peru.

    Not until you mentioned UFOs did the lightbulb turn on.

    It's fun reading the theories about natural rocks. UFOs!!

    Argh! Too easy, again! Vatterholm, you are indeed correct. It is the Sankore Mosque in Timbuktu.

    Next time, more obscure! But until then, it is yours to go!
