Game: Name that road!

[MontyVeda]

It does look like a river junction which might be a strong clue.

the correct term is confluence... not that that helps one locate it 🧑‍🎓

 

[GuyBoden]

It's not a river, but there are two becks (not brooks) that converge just West of the pic and enter the lake just East of the pic, also behind right is a large cafe often visited by cyclists and behind left a bit further up the road is a smaller cafe often visited by cyclists.

Becks, so we're in Yorkshire.

Ha - I have just enjoyed virtually travelling along pretty much every river in N/W/S Yorkshire and had just come to the conclusion that we were not looking at a river!

Or Cumbria

 

[GuyBoden]

"North Yorkshire does not have many natural lakes due to the porosity of the limestone underneath the surface."

The "lake" might be a reservoir. The issue is there are literally hundreds of becks.... the double yellows suggest its close to a village / town tourist spot (although doesn't look like its in one unless its a cunning camera angle)

@Venod did specifically state lake in his post, not reservoir. He is usually very precise in his wording.

Google image search found that distinctive church in a few seconds.

I solved one of @Aravis 's (somewhere in Scotland with a highland cow in the picture) using Google image search and I was wracked with guilt because it felt like cheating. I will not be so squeamish in future.

Ahhhh.... but you were right the first time though. Image search for this game is akin to walking to the South Pole across the ice cap using a helicopter.

Well actually ...

Strictly speaking it's the North Pole that you walk to across the ice cap. The south pole is on the contient of Antarctica.

Ahem! Both poles have ice caps, as do Greenland and Norway, and very possibly other distinctly 'landy' type places. From Wikipedia: 'The Antarctic ice sheet is one of the two polar ice caps of the Earth. It covers about 98% of the Antarctic continent ...'

And, to be uber pedantic, it's more the case that the continent called Antarctica is on, or at, the South Pole, rather than the reverse, what with the poles being a more fundamental planetary concept than those floating land mass thingies

Oh woe! Out pedanted!

I may have to flounce, I can't stand the shame.

 

[ColinJ]

And I would point out that I suggested picking something else that could NOT be found by image search!

I was just curious to see how good it was. I thought the church looked distinctive and might be found too quickly.

Hmmm .... A likely story.

 

[T4tomo]

It looked similar to a James Paine Bridge, but I can seem to find one attributed to him in amongst becks and lakes.
