Game: Name that road!

[Aravis]

Excellent deductions above. Positively dripping with clues now (dripping isn't a clue by the way). To find the actual road, it's always worth going back to places for another look...

The article @Dogtrousers has quoted also refers to a Bambury Stone, shaped like an elephant apparently. The potential for clues is seemingly endless. Other sources, including Ordnance Survey, show it as Banbury Stone...

I'm not sure quite what I've done wrong here, but I think this needs to move on now. Someone was extremely warm, so hot that I couldn't really comment without giving it away completely.

It's at one end of an extremely long village. I don't think it has any shops, but it does have a very expensive restaurant, a cricket club, a school, and a garage which normally has a number of ageing Rolls Royces and Bentleys outside Perhaps that's the picture I should've taken.

 

[Dogtrousers]

I don't think you've done anything wrong. I'd just forgotten about this. I had a scoot round on Streetview and found a lot of nearly but not quite. I'll have a think about the clue. Long Mynd perhaps.

I got distracted too!

It does look a lot like the previously mentioned Corse Lawn. Here:

The gable end of the white house to the right of the tree matches, as does the hill. The killer cow warning sign is absent though :-\

EDIT: Hang on ...
"I think the cows may have gone since the Street View camera went by. "
So maybe it is?

@Sea of vapours i think you’re right there.

The garage could be NRT motors and the long village is ?Long Green

If that's correct then I do feel as if @Ming the Merciless did most of the digging and I wandered in and picked up the shiny coin ...

I have another one ready to post once @Aravis confirms. And it's not featureless moorland either :-)

Bugger. Had another look along the B road I was looking at. Not sure why I couldn’t find the 50 sign I needed when I was looking at Corse Lawn a day or two back. Looks like a match to me.

You have it, @Sea of vapours. It sounds as though most of the clues came into focus eventually, so time to move on. Over to you.

 

[Sea of vapours]

Something completely different. Name that road!

 

[Dogtrousers]

On an inspired whim I have found a place with hills, road and buildings that are INCREDIBLY similar. Eerily similar.

But not the same

 

[Dogtrousers]

Near Gunnerside

 

[Sea of vapours]

Correct. Well found.

And that s-shaped thing in the centre, across the valley, is the 25% bit of Oxnop Scar, which was the road name I was hoping someone might spot. (Visible in mine, not quite in Dogtrousers' view.)

 

[Dogtrousers]

I rode over Buttertubs virtually on my Turbo recently and something in my head said that was familiar. So I looked at the OS map of the area and looked for a valley with a little road alongside and bingo.

Pure luck really. I have a nice easy one up my sleeve. Hang on ...

 

[Dogtrousers]

I'll be out on my bike tomorrow so get your skates on and get this tonight. (NB there are no cryptic clues in there. )

Name that road!
