Well with 2 l's it is unlikely to be anything to do with vacation type of holiday, more like Holliday Grainger or Doc Holliday. (I think Bilile only has\had the one l.)

Re: A little help with a quiz...
Have you got any other clues and correct answers? Cryptic things normally have a level, which helps find answers. I remember trying to do a cryptic crossword from the Sun, or some such paper. It was like a bad trip

Re: A little help with a quiz...
17 if looked on as dried grass land could be Hayfield, but like Hindhead it is more a village than a town.

Re: A little help with a quiz...
and "this meadow" makes me think it is a specific meadow rather than any meadow as it would have read "in a meadow"
