Following on from recent discussion, here's where we can list British seaside resorts that do and don't sound like something from HP Lovecraft.

We can also, should we choose, suggest story titles that could involve them.

Dungeness is so HP Lovecraft, it's a miracle he didn't invent it.

Like...

Doonside
Trawsfrith
Moorcross

etc
