Inspired by MetaZen's riddles, I figured I might try making one. It's definitely not as...indirect...as their puzzles, but still difficult nevertheless.
To the south and east is the North West
To the north is the Midlands
To the west is a Magic Carpet Ride
If someone told you the name of my area, you'd assume that it rains a lot, but it doesn't
Hint 1:
This place is closed until 2021
Hint 2:
The place is in a large city in Wales, which contains large cities in England and Scotland, and possibly a large Irish city as well
Hint 3:
The first two clues refer to the regions in England, not to other potential regions with the same name elsewhere. "Magic Carpet Ride" refers to an actual physical object, and "rain" refers to the actual weather phenomenon.
Hint 4:
The North West is also in the West as well
Hint 5:
Think of the largest cities within each region mentioned in the riddle
Hint 6:
Focus more on names rather than actual places
Hint 7:
You can only access this place from the north, not the south
Hint 8:
There was nothing published on the Internet about the closure of this place; you'll only find out if you attempt to actually drive to it
