In my previous post I should, of course, have excluded Bodmin Moor (and Dartmoor in neighbouring Devon) as, despite being areas of high Radon leakage, they could be described as wasteland in the main.
Having done a bit more research, I note that parts of Lincoln also have maximum Radon levels recorded - possibly because it is a big lump of rock with a castle perched on top! Actually, the castle itself is in the second highest band whereas, if I visit Wetherspoon's for a pint or four, I note that, being virtually at sea level, it is in the area of lowest recorded levels as is North Hykeham, so I can go to sleep in the sure knowledge that I'm not going to glow in the dark!
