Game: Name that road!

Worn latches is an anagram of Charles Town. Just sayin.

i'd spotted that, but it doesn't look like cornwall or fife

It's also an anagram of slow chanter. So maybe there's a ruined abbey nearby. Or a bagpipe school

I was thinking it looked Scottish lower highlands-ish

Park Road, Chipping Campden. Definitely Cotswold!

Spot on. It was during the Poor Student audax in January 2020. Must head out for more bike rides, seems mine get answered whilst I’m riding.

Thanks - and apologies for not waiting. There were so many posts I kinda assumed one of them would be from you.

Srsly which of your suggestions do you think it's more likely that I'm trying to communicate?

The hills have a Welsh look about them. The foreground looks possibly tidal.

Perhaps the most helpful thing I can do at the moment is point out that Wikipedia lists 14 places in the UK with the same name ... just sayin'.

Charlestown , Gairloch and it’s the Old Inn? Mountains behind look to have right features.

Exactly right @Ming the Merciless. If you pull back a bit to the main road you can see the match and the extent of the post-1965 changes very clearly:

One puzzling thing is that the stone bridge in the centre of the picture is now far to narrow ever to have carried the road. One feels it must have been rebuild using the original stone. When I rode this way in 1983 I was in the middle of an argument with one of my companions, so I can remember what the road layout was like then.

Onwards!

Here we go, you won’t find a knee on Streetview.

 

[Aravis]

I don't think we've much chance without the knee.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Is it Kneebworth?

 

[BrumJim]

Big sky. Cambridgeshire?

The wind turbine will be marked on the OS map

edit... or on this renewable energy map (just turn off everything that isn't wind)
