Game: Name that road!

[classic33]

It's not directly related to the road in the picture, but to narrow it down to a rough area, you need to know where Mr Ludwig Dodgson met the inspiration for the main character in his famous novels.

EDIT: I read that when looking for clues, and it surprised me. I'd hate to mislead people, so this was only one version, and it's probably a much lesser known one than the more famous version usually told.

Sorry if that's confused things.

You Ripon off family relationships?

Ok, here's my next one

We have a stretch of canal that runs on an embankment - the white house is lower than the canal (unless it's a trick of the Google camera) It also looks quite wide for a canal so there might be a turning point or something nearby.

I immediately think of the Brecon and Abergavenny canal which has a number of such embankments but nothing specific comes to mind.

The canal is widening to the right which suggests that is the entrance to the basin with the track off to the right being the access point

My initial thought was "wouldn't fancy owning that house in wet weather"

 

[T4tomo]

Found it.

Not Percy Killingwick, but Kilnwick Percy

I thought it looked wolds ish, but I couldnt pin down the type of structure to find the road in the few mins I spent looking

 

[Dogtrousers]

All good guesses. Route 66 is quite fragmented, so you may want to think about 'heading for the blues' part.

@ClichéGuevara
So - going back to the clues for the previous one ...

Those clues
Heading for the blues ???
where Mr Ludwig Dodgson met the inspiration for the main character in his famous novels. ??
a sort of close connection with a bath or a shower. ? er ... fishpond lane? Sort of has to do with water. As does nearby Warter
You may need to sit quiet, relax and think about it.? The building on the left is the Madhyamaka meditation centre https://madhyamaka.org/

I actually know the area vaguely well, but unfortunately in my brain Wharram Percy was drowning out Kilnwick Percy

1. Stamford Bridge

3. Warter village.

4. Yep, the Buddhist centre.

It isn't a canal.

 

[Dogtrousers]

It isn't a canal.

Well, it appears to be above the level of that house and has artificial borders.

Could be a millpond or small reservoir? I'm guessing millpond.

In a way I'm glad it's not a canal as I had a feeling that it might be somewhere that I really should recognise. The pressure is now off.

 

[T4tomo]

It just looks like a river to me with some bank reinforcement, perhaps to stop erosion, no doubt somewhere in South Wales

or maybe a millpond with some sort of boardwalk

It certainly could be

Feeling that the Dogs Trousers has done most of the work so should perhaps take the glory....

particularly after I pipped him by seconds on this one...

Edit: Bugger.

 

[T4tomo]

No I'm completely in the dark about this still. The best I have is millpond, of which there could be zillions.

ahem...

cough...

This is definitely one for @T4tomo.
