Either would do as the surname is 4 letters but Damon would be classed the wayward one.

How about a 5 letter champ, remove N (first of Nov) and anagram (wayward) that?

There is the Bob Graham round but that’s the Lakes and the trains reached all over.

I'm still trying to work out the upstream odyssey clue... there's a book of that name, subtitled an American in China by a bloke called Croft ...other than that, clueless.

F1 champs with 5 letter names containing N are Rindt, Jones and Senna. Angram of Ridt, Joes or Sena?

What about 5-letter first names? Perhaps with the surname also being a geographical feature, helping it to fit the subject?

To recap, you're looking for a part of Britain which the railways didn't reach. This narrows down the search areas a lot.
A clue to the name of a nearby "thing" is a bit of an upstream odyssey, which I was kind enough to tell you is 4 letters long.

This was well on track.

Thank feck for that. I actually had a Game: Name That Road dream this morning... I found it on the Isle of Mull.

Well done @Alex321. Over to you. 
Upstream odyssey gives the four-letter name of the nearby farm and also the distinctive hill on the left with the trees on top. I'd tried to make the clue with ultra-modern but couldn't make it read remotely sensibly.
Amod Hill is an anagram of Damon Hill minus the N.
As for the picture itself, the look is too gentle for the far north-west. I think Kintyre must be one of the largest remaining areas never penetrated by the railways, and I've used images from there before.
