Game: Name that road!

[lazybloke]

A Roman on Liberator, one of the seven?

Ooh ooh. olde Scifi.

Hmm.
Avon - could be Forest of Avon.
Vila - could be any one of many roman villas. OMG there's a "Tarrant villa" !!!

Or something else, haven't looked at other clues...

You are on the right lines with one of those.

Watched the last couple of episodes of "The Girl Before"* before coming back to this puzzle.
*I should see if the book has a better ending

Been looking at the Cheddar Audax routes due to the proximity of the Avon and lots of Roman things.

Not sure about shaded forest although a dip might be shaded; Mendip Forest maybe. Seems tenuous.
Coming down a cliff could refer to descents around Cheddar.
Or there's Avoncliff.

Not sure about the boat clue, which could refer to various bodies of water or a play on words.

Or I'm barking up the wrong tree.
Too late for me anyway. I'm off for some sleep!

It’s not Avon

Looks like another fine day to sit in the shade, I would

 

[MontyVeda]

Either Ming's clues aren't very good, or we're not very good at getting them

I suspect we are in a similar situation to @Aravis clues! If no one has got it by this afternoon, I will put up a different road which someone hopefully will get.

indeed.

one of the seven? Seas, dwarfs, sins? EDIT - Ah Blakes7 - never was into that, but that follows with Ming....

a roman on liberator - if liberator is an anagram hint, then "Manor" is an anagram of "roman", but why put the "on" there.

unless there is a No Sneezy Manor somewhere under cliff by a shady forest / wood?

well a better / more obvious clue would be the way to go rather than another road..

One of the seven is a reference to "Blakes 7".

And given that Lazybloke above was "on the right lines with one of them" when saying it could be linked to Vila, Tarrant or Avon, and Ming has just said "not Avon", that leaves the other two.

Tarrant seems most likely to me, but there are a few places called Tarrant xxxx (and a villa Tarrant) and I haven't found anything round them yet that looks likely.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

There are stocks and a whipping post in this location.

please don't put up a different road... just different hints as to where we need to look

 

[MontyVeda]

Main St. in Apethorpe?

and the rear view mirror...

Yay we have a winner. Over to you.

 

[MontyVeda]

Oh bugger!

 

[T4tomo]

ah the well known fine shade wood and kings cliffe
WTF was the roman blake 7 stuff about @Ming the Merciless ?
