@Aravis clearly has a brain like no other given the “clues” being handed out!

Well the Kit Kat is clearly representing break which matches stop. As for an empty litter bin and 99.94? Another name for donut is torus, inside the donut we have jam, cream or custard

So the Don (99.4 and part of donut) is significant.
Break is likely (from "then stop" and

)
Dartmoor is possible from "the absence of any visible backward rot (=tor) may be creating some doubt."

Failing that we could look at the picture.

Looked for Triddon, Riddon and Iddon.

Triddon looks the best bet. But I don't think this is Triddon Hill.
One of those gives a number of references to a ship. But further down you might find something else...

Well done @Ming the Merciless. All fairly straightforward, then. Riddon Brake, which was practically spelt out, is rather a nice house, but the trees within its grounds almost completely hide it. The 1:50,000 map shows it as a clump of trees but the 1:25,000 marks it as a house.

Until Ming drew attention to the clump of trees I was intending to use a different clue. Perhaps "Held woman escapes to distant ridge" would have been too obvious.

I rode along that road once, at night. A good friend, also my most significant cycling mentor, was retiring, and moving from Wrington, south of Bristol to Scotland. To mark the occasion he organised a four-day ride from Land's End back to his home, and all his old cycling friends were invited - in February. I could only commit two days, so at the appropriate time I left work early, took the train to Newton Abbot and set off for Postbridge in rapidly fading light. A remember a car driver somehow managing to register his concern for my safety as I left Ashburton, and it was easy to see his point. The lowest gear on my bike would've been 35/32 - not low enough and not being able to see where the road is going does nothing for the resolve. By the time I reached the spot in the picture I was almost home and dry, but there was a nasty sting in the tail after Bellever.

Over to @Ming the Merciless again. ^_^
