| | Travel | No red herring |
 | | Although this western coastal corner is known as the country's birthplace, its distance from the main airline gateways of Oslo and Stavangar means it has never really featured as a major port of call on the UK visitor trail. |
 | | Haugesund, which prides itself on having the longest pedestrian street in Norway, owes its prosperity to the 19th-century herring fishing industry, a fact drummed home in the stirring local history film shown at the Lille Maritim cinema in the harbour. |
 | | Modern-day travellers to Haugalandet include Jeremy Irons, Pierce Brosnan, Roger Moore, Ben Kinglsey, Nigel Hawthorne, Jeanne Moreau and Dennis Quaid, joining the other big names at the annual film festival. |
