"Where is " in front usually fine and throws up a wiki link on the River Anker which says King Dick's Hole is a deep part of the Anker at its confluence with the Sence. Since at least Victorian times, it has been a popular bathing place for the youth of Atherstone and Sheepy. Local tradition has it that it is where King Richard bathed before the battle.More likely ‘hole’ is a corruption of early English halgh; an area of flood plain enclosed by a meandering river.The name could originally have referred to the area where Richard stationed some of his troops while lodging the night at Mythe Hall.

There is a car blocking the sign, so I can't make it clearer.


Near Dunbar. As someone with Scottish parents , this was obvious. (it even has a thistle next to it)
