Dartmoor doesn't stretch to the coast!
Yes, it is SW England.
No, the visit was not to my sister's cottage in Devon. It was on a cycling holiday many years ago before she moved down there.

Well done.
I was on holiday in Penzance for a week. I did a great loop - Penzance, Newlyn, Mousehole, Sennen Cove, Zennor, St Ives, Marazion, Penzance.

I suppose building your new house around the old house seemed like a good idea at the time

Well done for finding the Church at Mobberly, I've been riding past the Church for many years and sometimes stop to sit on their nice bench.
Those dark blocks in your latest NTR are interesting.

just a grain silo i believe. There is other stuff on the horizon but the resolution is rather low. If it's not been found in a day or two, I'll do something about that.
Image searching for 'norman church cheshire' led me to Mobberly, but it toook a while

The nuclear power station at Heysham?
Anyway... The road is the A588 north of Cockerham. (I never go that way to Glasson Dock - I always take the quiet road from Galgate, with its unexpected little climb!)
I'll have a think about my next road and try to post one tomorrow (Sunday).

well spotted Colin
I love the ride from Cockerham to Conder Green; lots of ups and downs but mostly down than up so can keep a really good pace going... although the other traffic can be a bit heavy at times.
As for the curious house...
The new build stopped halfway up a good five years ago; probably when they realised it's not going to be easy, getting two semidetached houses through the front door when they're no longer needed.

Or they ran out of cash, or maybe they didn't get planning consent?
Let's hope they bought the scaffolding rather than renting it by the week!
I have another road picture ready but it is on my laptop downstairs and I am lazing in bed. I will post it once I have got up.

Ok, here it is.
'Somebody' here should spot it straight away, but he seems to be an occasional visitor so you might beat him to it...
If nobody gets it by tomorrow evening, I will give you a clue. (Remind me if I forget!)

Yes, well done!
I searched the thread to see if we had done it before and found a post by @nickyboy mentioning it, but not as his mystery road.
I actually did that climb the first day I met him. I was cycling down from Hebden Bridge to Coventry via Nottingham. I was carrying a heavy rucksack that day, which Nickyboy kindly lugged over Holme Moss and up Snake Pass for me. We parted company and I continued alone...
Lugging that heavy bag up Bar Rd in my bottom gear of 39/29 convinced me that I needed lower gears on my best bike! I put a triple chainset and slightly bigger cassette on so I now have a much kinder 28/30 bottom gear!
Your turn again.
