I am going to hazard a guess and say Herts or Essex. Looks like quite a long bridge, so maybe going over a flood plain.

A damp road on a gloomy, overcast day in the UK... that should narrow the search down a bit...! :whistle:

As for the water tower that I was thinking of in Lancashire - there were some very subtle differences compared to the one posted above...

is it the A570 near Bickerstaffe?




Joking aside... a friend of mine has a rather large wood inlay (marquetry?) picture of that water tower. It is a rather splendid structure.

well done @robjh I am sat at my desk looking at this. Certainly looks correct.

Thanks for that link @Trickedem , you saved me a job there.
Quite a few people will have ridden that way but it looks a bit different after midnight on the Dunwich Dynamo.

Please be patient with me, I'll post the next one later when I'm on the big 'puter.

Looks more like Scotland to me.

EDIT: It IS Scotland! Had a hunch for borders and saw a cluster of reservoirs between Moffat and Peebles. Checked the minor roads above them and it looks like it's a lane to the South East of Talla reservoir, looking North West....

Can't get my phone to insert an image, here's roughly where it looks to have been taken...

Great effort! I looked at the other reservoir, had convinced myself the view was to the East...

Well done. I thought that might be a quick one with a big water feature like that to go on. It was a lovely road, with a very steep drop just below my vantage point going down to the water level.
