  • https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trent_Park
    Technically it’s outside of the Malaysian red line. - Middlesex Uni campus was owned by a Malaysian institution before being acquired for redevelopment

    However in the vicinity you will find references to King Arthur

    • Camlet Moat is also known as Camelot

    Nightingales

    • Middlesex Uni campus acquired by Berkeley Homes. The song famously references nightingales singing in Berkeley Square

    and WW2 German pilots.

    • Trent park used to house German prisoners during the war

    Look up (go north) and seek out the mid land river
    Midland river = River Trent

    Perhaps my brain just works in funny ways; but I thought with some cryptic clues and Google then you may be able to narrow down the location of the anonymous obilisk

  • Thanks! I'm mostly a general knowledge rather than a cryptic crossword man - I'd got as far as Berkeley Square with the nightingale clue, but no further. As with all the best clues, once they're explained they all make perfect sense...

    (Edit: I think I've worked out where the new tag is, but it's a bit far for me from the actual Midlands...)
