Start/Finish: Waddington village, Yorkshire*

* Waddington is nowadays attributed to Lancashire, but the pre-1974 boundaries are still technically in place for geographical purposes, meaning Waddington still sits in the West Riding of Yorkshire even though its local government is administered by Lancashire County Council.
