Game: Name that road!

[MontyVeda]

Well done @T4tomo !

Over to you

Hmmm...... that sounds as if it should be Borrowdale and the Derwent then, but I can't find any road ends which look like that, despite it looking annoyingly familiar.

My Wordsworth is clearly not up to speed!

from The Prelude: Book 1: Childhood and School-time​

BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH
—Was it for this
That one, the fairest of all Rivers, lov'd
To blend his murmurs with my Nurse's song,
And from his alder shades and rocky falls,
And from his fords and shallows, sent a voice
That flow'd along my dreams? For this, didst Thou,
O Derwent! travelling over the green Plains
Near my 'sweet Birthplace', didst thou, beauteous Stream...

Yep. I sat and had lunch on that bench, next to the stocks, on my so-far only 100 mile ride.

I have only ridden up this hill never down, name that road.

 

[MontyVeda]

Looks familiar... is it Yorkshire?

 

[T4tomo]

I thought it was the bottom of Rosedale Chimney, but it isnt...

It does have a dales look about it with a shallow wide valley. Shame photo so low resolution can’t really get a closer look at that village.

My thoughts too, although it also looks like some parts of West Yorkshire.

Hmm... Assuming that it IS Yorkshire and that @Sea of vapours has been checking in, then I reckon it is NOT the Dales or he would have spotted it by now. He is less familiar with West Yorkshire so I am going to shift my search area closer to home!

Typical Yorkshireman... tight fisted with pennies and pixels!
