Ah ha! We're looking for a place with grass. And a fence. And lots of zoomed-JPEG artefacts!

OK, OK. Clues...
The zoomed jpeg artefacts are at the summit of a cycling climb of some repute.
It is at sufficient distance from Appleby that it would be beyond my capability for a day ride from there.

I'm pretty sure that I have worked out where it is, but just looking for the exact road now...

I might be able to see a mast, but it could be a mark on the lens 🕵️♂️
I'm off to find a mast on Dartmoor!

Wherever it is, I don't think it's on my side of the Pennines.

I'm distracting myself from other tasks (such as cooking and eating!) so I will offer my thoughts in a spoiler in the hope that one of you will put me out of my misery!
It looks like it could be Peak District loveliness.
Big climb in Peak District is the Cat & Fiddle.
Cat and Fiddle is a building on top of a whacking big hill on the horizon and there is a mast close to it. For the mast to be on the right of the building, we must be looking from somewhere northish of it.

You've misunderstood the clue. My bad.
Cat is correct - the point the photo of the cat is taken from is on the horizon of the original pic.
Hope that makes sense.

After a very quick look at the peak district area and I'm now thinking it is on the west side of the Pennines.
edit... but maybe not!

Aaargh - as soon as I swallow the last morsel of food, I have to get back to this!
PS And I need a map that shows the counties... HERE'S ONE!

Well that thing on the horizon is the Cat and Fiddle pub, but if the original image isn't on Streetview then finding which road it is would be, for me, something of a guessing game involving comparing the OS map roads to those. Somewhere a bit east of Macclesfield I presume, but there are quite a few roads in there :-\
