And the farm with the Highland Cattle above Gibson Mill, not available on streetview.

I'm going to get back into mountain biking soon. I need to fix my bike first, and after that I will be heading out that way again. I used to like going up through Walshaw and then coming back either via Lower Gorple/Edge Lane, or via Widdop/Worsthorne Moor for a longer ride.

I thought it looked quite distinctive too, which is why I stopped to take the picture just as I'd gathered considerable speed down the hill. My wife, woefully oblivious of Cyclechat photo competitions, carried on freewheeling and had to mark time at the bottom waiting for me to catch up.

The photo reminds me of the steep-sided valleys in Gloucestershire, for instance around Nailsworth. The plateau could be Rodborough Common.

Amberley?

If you have a strong suspicion about a location then I suggest that you go on Street View to check it. For me, 9 times out of 10 guesses turn out to be wrong, but every now and then I get the location right first time. Classic's recent picture of Mixenden was an example of that, but I had a head start on that one because it is pretty local to me.
If your guess is right, put up a link to the Street View page, and ideally a screenshot too.
(I had a quick look around Nailsworth and Amberley but I don't know that area so it's hard for me to work out what roads you are thinking about.)

You never did name the road though.

I'd guess Mid Wales or Welsh Borders. But there's far too many possibilities for me.

The main reason I thought this would be a fun entry is because to me this view seemed far more suggestive of other parts of the country - say, for example, some of the places you've mentioned - than the place we actually were.😀

A cunning clue - think of everywhere that it might be, eliminate those places from the list, then check everywhere else! I'll be back in 2023...

North Yorkshire?

Time for a clue, before any of you lull yourself into a belief you've found the right area?
Actually, the following will be of almost no help in identifying the area, but, for what it's worth, once you've got the area, as a door to finding the actual location, you might like to reflect on why this apparently rural road needs double yellow lines.

Door? Durdle door? Dorset?
