I'm looking for some places on 192 and it's down as Clwyd. There's another down as Dyfed. I never even heard of that one lol I'm trying to work out what's right. Having said that, it had Oldham in Cheshire instead of Lancashire lol

I checked Multimap and TheAA, but neither give me the county, just the town name.

Is there a website that will tell me what counties certain towns are in? I'm talking about towns today, not 100 years ago. I found some that I think are listed wrong, but I don't know how to check. Can anyone help please?
