Any guidance as to how far is "not far"(!)

Correct, the strip in my picture is Danes Dyke, a prehistoric defensive ditch. It's close to NCN1, which doesn't quite venture up the headland enough to meet it. It's close to where I grew up.

As an impatient sort, I much prefer the easier ones. I'm really not sure whether this is way too easy or way too hard, but I can provided loads of clues if required. (My username is a total red herring in this case though.)

Re: Lockdown non-touring quiz
Ah yes, I know where that is, about as far from me as it is from you. As for industry, brick? (not sure - doesn't get mentioned on the Wikipedia page).
I'll give some others a chance as I've had a few goes already.
