Show solution

Some time ago I asked in this same thread the name of a place which
could not be written with letters and hyphen only.  The place is
Westward Ho!  (the exclamation mark is part of the name).  It is in
Cornwall, UK; more precise, on the North coast of Devon.  It is a
bathing resort named after Charles Kingsleys novel published 1855.  And
it is possible to have decent food there.

"Westward Ho!" is not alone in it punctuation-as-place-name approach.
In Quebec, there is the small town of "St. Louis de Ha! Ha!" (possibly
spelled with hyphens, I can't recall).
