That looks alarmingly familiar. I fear it's going to be another of those roads I've been along in the last few weeks but can't place. Looks like the Forest of Bowland, but also like some bits of the Dales. It *most* looks like the road from Airton to Settle, pretty much at the peak, just before the cattle grid.

As an aside, however, @iluvmybike 's image actually is where I suggested above:
So, back to @MontyVeda 's current road .....

A couple of clues for you... this is in my neck of the woods, and very close to a county boundary.
Looks at Monty's info - Lancaster.
Local County boundaries - North Yorks and Cumbria
It's an A road, and looks to be in a town (40mph limit, houses)
Kirkby Lonsdale looks like a credible candidate - finds T junction and BINGO!
Never found one first look before

Aargh! I was distracted identifying the 'out of order' one near Settle (about 15km away) and didn't properly look at this junction I pass through about once a fortnight (about 15km away in the other direction).

Correct - looking over to the Bowland Fells before the 'plunge' down into Settle
Alright, so I'm going to be very rude and post ahead of Monty's confirmation. From a wonderful ride late last summer.

You beat me to it - that was exactly what I thought!
That's what I like about this thread - it keeps throwing up new places to go and explore one day.
(It is actually similar to many of the places that I already ride to, but no harm in adding more to the list...
)

Yep... that looks like a glorious place to ride @roubaixtuesday.
The ride to Kirkby Lonsdale is also glorious... i just chose a not so glorious section of it

'tis a glorious place indeed.
Here's another one from the same ride - I'm not sure, but I think you can see one point from the other.
A slight clue - I was going to post this one, but it doesn't appear on street view.

Is it around the Appleby-in-Westmorland area?
I shall not comment on Appleby (yet), but it does appear a further clue is needed.
This one is taken later in the same ride, from a spot roughly on the horizon of the original shot.
I think it will be recognised.
