That certainly looks easier than Sea of Vapours pic, but alas I can't try to find it as your supposed to be the first to identify the last pic posted before its your turn, could get messy if people just posted random pics, (although easy ones) nice bike.

I'd be a bit worried it were that close to me but I still didn't recognise it!

It is indeed a fair way up a hill and there is a wider view in the next few hundred metres. The thinning bit does provide a bit of a view but isn't 'a viewpoint' as such. it is very steep, incidentally, which may not be wholly obvious from the Streetview image. It's at least 15% at that point and probably more. And just to confirm the hint in the original post, it is somewhere I've cycled to from home and back in a day; more than once.
Should be easy now then.

It does look steep to me. I found some very likely-looking lanes but they weren't right.
So, anywhere within about a 100 km radius of Clapham (Dales)!
Time to cook/eat. I'll call in again later to see if anybody has managed to put me out of my misery...

There's an awful lot of sea water in such a circle. The rides in question were both comfortably less than 200km.So, anywhere within about a 100 km radius of Clapham (Dales)!

I assumed that the 'except where that would under water, in a quarry, on the roof of a tower block...' etc. was fairly obvious!
Back to the maps and Street view...

I apologise, I didn't know there were rules to this thread, I posted without reading the whole thread. I blame @ColinJ for his suggestion of using the "New posts" feature in another thread. I've deleted my post and won't be using the "New posts" Facebook style listing again.

That is considerably warmer than some other suggestions above. Well under two hours pedalling.

It must be very close to roads that I have already checked! I am busy until this evening now. If nobody beats me to it I will try again later while watching the highlights of today's Milan San Remo.
