Lepe...Lymington
Which books are Lepe and Lymington in?
Well, seeing as we've mentioned Corfe Castle (being the basis for Kirrin Castle), I thought I'd be able to mention a couple of other places (themselves being the basis for, respectively, Red Towers' house and the town Richard Kent runs through to find the police station)....

Unless we're considering only fictional Blyton places instead? :?
Oh I see - I was thinking Corfe Castle was mentioned because it appears in Adventure of the Strange Ruby.

Well, the original post says to name places "related to Enid Blyton or her books." so I think Lepe or Lymington are perfectly acceptable now daanton has explained them.
