Game: Name that road!

[Ming the Merciless]

I just noticed something... There are a lot of bungalows, presumably many of them occupied by elderly people who struggle with stairs (suggested by the road sign warning of slow-moving OAPs). Only thing is... how do they get up that steep hill on foot!

It's Beeston Castle in Cheshire, from the west. I'll post the precise link later.

Corner of Crimes Lane and Tattenhall Lane

In fact @ColinJ has rather spoilt my plans for name that road, as I had been planning to show this picture

but you'd all get it now.

Please note : this is NOT my picture for the next challenge!

Well, yours is a better picture! My phone's camera is very hit and miss, but I can't be bothered to carry my Canon compact camera on rides.

North Wales?

No. A bit early for other clues though.

First thought was the Howgill Fells. But I've just done a very pleasant Streetview circumnavigation of the Howgills and can't make it match.

I can see why you thought that, but no it's not. But I find that all the virtual touring you do in looking for clues on this thread can give some great inspiration for real rides one day.

I was surprised (when looking for Classic's recent road) how nice some of the hilly lanes above Halifax and Bradford look! I normally steer clear of built-up areas but I might venture a little closer to explore some of them.

Here's a few more photos from the album which may help you get the general area

I used to think the two on the right was Llandudno, but I'm not so sure now

And i'm pretty sure that's the island off Anglesey (the coastguard has since leveled the sea)

The big house looks like it could be a national trust type property

...and i think the writing on the paddle boat is PB Co. Gwynedd

Penllech Beach, Conwy.
Which may cut down the number of stations, which may not all be passenger.

Reservoir being fed by at least one source. Possibly a second beyond & below it.

Road is wrong for the A58

Are you still talking about my picture in #2863? I wouldn't be so sure about reservoirs, and keep going north!

Definitely Scotland. Although Scotland is a big place. Highlands rather than Lowlands or Borders, I would guess.

Yes, definitely one of those three!
