Can we have a misspelling allowance in Wharram Percy? I put Wharam, then Warram and then gave up. Nice quiz though!

You should merge the National Park question with the empty box. To be able to do that, you have to switch to manual mode and then the option will appear to merge. Then click in the National Park box, select down in the options for merging direction and merge the cells.
