Where in the UK quiz

The idea shamelessly stolen from elsewhere (to help with the boredom)...

Where in the UK is each of the following photos?  All are known landmarks though some are less well known / more remote than others.  All should be easy if you've been there, and if you haven't then I can highly recommend a visit to them all once we're allowed out to play again.  Answers in a few days time if I can remember where I took them all  ;)

I echo Duck's sentiments ? nice idea; numbers 3 & 20 seem to be the same place (the only one I've got at first glance).

3 & 20 are definitely different places, though I must admit they look so similar I had to double check I've not cocked it up.

Sorry about the lighthouses, I have a bit of a fetish in that department.  They do make great quizzes though as every one is unique.

14. Isn't this somewhere on the Pennine way? There is lots of eroded peat visible and a huge path??

Edit Mrs Dinwiddy says its the Cheviot

I am pretty sure 5 is Ardnamurchan, having seen it often from the floaty side. Same trip as going to Jackanory?

The problem with 9 is that is a standard Scottish design, but I am pretty sure it is Dunnet Head.

17 is St Marys you would think. It?s the right ship, and the only one with a floating lifeboat.
