x. could be Sad Hill cemetery (from 'The Good The Bad and The Ugly'), in Spain, which was recently restored. Could the theme word be 'hill'? I thought at first the theme was simply railway stations (and it could still be).

(Google sez:) Catthorpe to Gretna is the M6, Bodmin to Mansfield is the A38, and their joining is Spaghetti Junction! "the pillars supporting the flyovers over the Birmingham Canal Navigations had to be carefully placed to enable a horse-drawn canal boat to pass under the interchange without fouling the towing rope"

Google-o for iii): Limerick Junction station is right next to a racecourse which features the Concorde Stakes and the Istabraq Hurdle, apparently.

x will be Cemetery Junction with Junction being the link

vii is Junction Road Station (from a poem by Betjeman)
viii looks like it might be Toledo Junction (a name I only know from a dodgy pub in Paisley back in the day, but assume it refers to something else as well)
