Game: Name that road!

[robjh]

Do we not have some dry stone wall and local building stone experts on here who could help?
Also, we're on high ground here, looking over a (large?) town in a valley and more hills beyond that, maybe topped with moorland. I'm thinking Pennines.

Pennines.... I'm unsure exactly how far south they extend, but based on a Pennine Way map: no, this is not the Pennines!

Yes, it's taken near a hill top, although the air here didn't seem any thinner than when I cycle my more usual hills.

Lots of towns and villages in sight. If I was to go to the opposite side of the hill the view would be more rural.

I am spending too long on this so I will donate my ideas!

I reckon it is in the Derbyshire Dales somewhere W or SW of Sheffield-Chesterfield?

...

There's an awful lot of Peak District south of Edale; that being the southern end of the Pennine Way, but since no one has said that looks like the peak district to me ...I'm gonna guess it's south of that. But not too far south, otherwise @lazybloke wouldn't have had to check how far south the Pennines extended. Could be a bit east around Chesterfield way. If it was the other way around Macclesfield, I reckon Guy would have had a clue

great minds think alike, which means we're both probably completely wrong!

The Roaches in the Peak District are considered the southern end of the Pennines. Thus just a little north of Leek.

Wrong direction, more south

Ta, Ming. Not relevant unfortunately.

Did anyone pause to consider the 'blinkered' comment? You're all missing information that isn't on this thread. But when? Look again at the photo to work that out.

That'll pinpoint the area to within a 5 mile radius.

I spotted the name 'notmiami' but hadn't worked out what it means!

The filename is not a clue!

Ah!

I'm assuming that "The filename is not a clue!" is also not a clue!

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Blinkered - blind…

Just don't want you chasing a clue that doesn't exist. Can imagine you trying to work out CSI references or summat!

I was just thinking how sneaky it would be to give a clue saying that something else was NOT a clue!

I reckon if somebody else spots this before me it will be less than 1 km from somewhere that I have looked at. Still, I am getting to look at some very nice scenery and as a result may go for a holiday there one day.

I'm certainly planning a return visit to the area, Colin.
Seemed a good base forexploring the area. Lots of lovely quiet lanes for cycling.

Could pop down the hill to the steam railway.

I think I was checking round there! I will check again when back on my laptop if nobody beats me to it.
