Walking carpet.

Bah, I found a Warwick canal. Warwick?

[hitssquad]

The Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole and caves.

 

[honestrosewater]

Wookie hole? OMG.

 

[honestrosewater]

Ah, we tied! Well, I guess I misspelled it.

BTW, Chewie isn't a main character! And Ewoks are the teddy bears!

 

[hitssquad]

I think it goes back to Olde or Middle English and therefore has numerous spellings, all of which are correct.

Somerset, in the South of England, is a land of mysteries. Here at Wookey Hole, where a river flows out of the underworld, pagan and Christian legends intermingle.

Here, too are mysteries of man himself. How did the early cavemen, who inhabited these caves, really live from day to day? And what makes a modern diver explore the caverns beyond the sunlight?


Even the earliest men who lived in the valley of Wookey Hole 50,000 years ago, hunting bear and rhinoceros with stone weapons, must have been in awe of the great caves for they had already existed for millions of years.

When, much later, the Celtic peoples of the Iron Age were moving into Britain, they found the caves a safe and even comfortable place to live - inside, the temperature is a constant 11° Celsius. Yet by the 15th century only bones, broken pottery and legends remained.

Then, in 1914 the archaeologist Herbert Balch, having completed a two year excavation of the caves, published his findings, and the age of real exploration had begun...

Visitors came to wonder at the secret river and its encrusted caverns. Perhaps Coleridge was inspired to write the lines: "Where Alph, the sacred river, ran,
Through caverns measureless to man"

Well, yours is listed first...

I guess I win, then. The "watery axe" is the River Axe.

The kitchen is The Witch’s Kitchen. The parlour is The Witch’s Parlour.

well done.

 

[hitssquad]

Interestingly, there is also a "Chew Magna" near the Cheddar Caves.

I can't make things to easy for intellects as big as yours

 

[hitssquad]

well done.

Sort of. I'm still not clear on the relationship between the Cheddar Caves and Wookey Hole. I suppose that Wookey Hole is the answer, though.

 

[hitssquad]

Cheddar Caves is a separate attraction from Wookey Hole. It is about 5 miles away. The clue was "cheesy area," so that refers to the fact that Cheddar Caves is nearby.

I live in Bishops Itchington, there are places caled upper slaughter, upper
piddle, lower piddle, the list goes on, place names are a study.

 

[hitssquad]

And I suppose that fact inspired George Lucas to borrow some of your names.

Im not to good with volcanos, but this one must have been inactive for
a long time.

Okay, I forgive you.

 

[honestrosewater]

Iceland?...

 

[hitssquad]

No, Rose. Not Iceland.

 

[hitssquad]

This volcano erupted in the twentieth century.

 

[Danger]

Okay, I forgive you.

Not me.
That was a pretty dirty one for those of us who refuse to Google answers. By the way, the Chewie version of the name is spelled 'Wookiee'.


Oh yeah, one more just on principle:

 

[honestrosewater]

Is it in Alaska?
