Game: Name that road!

[Willd]

Cheers I've got 3 of these in the recent weeks, but haven't posted, as I didn't have any suitable pictures. I've now resorted to Street View, so for a one time offer you have 3 for the price of one

edit Ok to avoid forum meltdown , as @T4tomo suggests below, I've removed 2 images (to be kept in reserve), as they were different locations.

 

[T4tomo]

are these all the same location? or 3 different? if they are different you need to remove 2 otherwise chaos will ensue!!

 

[Willd]

No guesses

Time for a clue or two, nothing cryptic at the moment. Road to the left is heading roughly North West across a river valley about 1 1/2 miles wide. Grey box is hiding an old fashioned fingerpost sign. I've not cycled on a round trip greater than 85 miles from the location on my profile.

View from the North West.

River is a good conjunction.

That clue well and truly gave the game away:

You are between the villages of Sibbertoft and Theddingworth, something that would give great satisfaction if you were at that stage of the A-Z towns and villages challenge.

Edited to include linky.

Ok, that helps

So we are looking generally North from your location, but not as far as where I knew the river as a teenager

Edit - beaten to it. I had guessed the river to be the Welland - I lived in Grantham as a teenager, which is on that river.

@Aravis over to you.

This should be a fun one. It's definitely well-known locally, but I find very few mentions on this site, so perhaps its fame doesn't extend so far. Or maybe it'll be a buzzer race, followed by a flurry of anecdotes about exploits in the past. I know some of you love that.

By the way, I did climb part of it.

B3081 from Can Common!

More commonly known as Zig-Zag Hill - we have met!

The one in the picture is more transatlantic in style.

That one looks interesting...

Castle Street/Serpentine Road in Rothesay

Absolutely right. As far as I can deduce, the road is called Serpentine Road, the hill is called Canada Hill. Something like that anyway.

If all you do on Bute is ride between the two ferry ports, it is flat.

Your turn @Alex321.

Ok, try this one:
