I've been looking up there. It reminded me of the little lane up to Watendlath above Derwent Water, but no joy...

I was going for one of the roads on the east side of Ullswater. I was quite excited when I found square passing place signs. Shame nothing else matches....

the dying bracken and the weather in place matches better in the lakes, but the majority of the unmarked roads seem to wave stone walls at the lake side of them

It does have a Lakes vibe but the street view of likely candidates is a different season. I was wondering if that’s a ferry in the picture

I see Simon Warren on Twitter has pinched @ColinJ 's idea. I won't clutter the thread up with spurious pictures, but ...
Re the current one. It reminds me of Finland, with that long skinny lake. Which it obviously isn't.

The weather and season does match imagery taken in the lake district in April 2009, but after hours of searching yesterday I've not been able to find any candidates that match the road condition, the telegraph pole, and the boat/island in the distance.
OTOH I have found more candidates for places I want to cycle to

Don't give me ideas...

Almost impossible if you don't have a clue where it starts, but pretty simple with an OS map if you do...

Yes, I had a feeling that you might spot that one!

It certainly avoids Buttertubs. Most of the climbs around Buttertubs are notably harder and much nicer roads than Buttertubs though, so that's a very good thing :-)
