I actually took that photo on Sunday afternoon, while on my only 50km ride in February
And took this one at the same time, which would have been rather more of a giveaway:

is it within 20 miles of Rugby?
Well, the furthest I've been is 83 miles out & back...There is a big clue in the picture if you look closely

The only likely looking viaducts in 40-odd miles appear to be Catesby or Welland***? I haven't managed to spot the road near either. I will try again tomorrow if nobody else has spotted it by then.

I had a feeling it might not be an active railway. It's approaching the village of Helmdon in Northants from the north-west, a winter view showing the viaduct more prominently:

It's possible I might have ridden this road, as I've done a few variations on Gloucester - Northampton over the years. I'd have to check.
The railway was the Great Central, the last of the main lines to the north, built to the continental gauge in anticipation of a tunnel through the English Channel, so naturally when Beeching did his rationalisation that was the one he closed.

, Catesby is the next viaduct further north, but I don't remember seeing that from the road.

My next one could be a buzzer race, so I'll post it at 1pm and we'll see if we can get a record.

Hmm... on the surface it looks quite easy, but my first three guesses have proved fruitless.
Is it somewhere near the coast?

My hunch was correct!
it is by the coast... A844, Rothesay, Scotchland. (edit... actually Craigmore)

I thought it was probably Scotland.
