You searched for "CATRINE" in our simplified list of the main towns and villages, but the match we found was not what you wanted. There are several other ways of finding places within Vision of Britain, so read on for detailed advice and 17 possible matches we have found for you:

Do not include the name of a county, region or
nation with the place-name: if we know of more than one place
