Game: Name that road!

I thought I'd floated all the clues you could possibly need.

If it's divine inspiration you're looking for, Acts 2 v2 may help.

All I've got is a bike, a gate, a road and a cruise ship dashing away. It doesn't look like Southampton, so I for one am stumped

You can add "And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting."

Which makes me think the ship isn't dashing away so much as being blown by wind.

But that isn't helping much

There was also mention of a "generational thing". So maybe a wind farm nearby?

But again, there are so many wind farms now, that isn't going to help much.

 

[MontyVeda]

is it 'windy lane' somewhere in or around gloucestercershire?

There is a Stonewall Hill on the border with Wales, and there was a protest against a proposed windfarm there...

No dry stone walls there though.

As I discovered once my initial excitement had abated and I had a look on Streetview!

There was a clue in here which you've overlooked so far. I'm attempting to communicate the name of a flower.

A very recent one next. One for the drystone wall experts - it's a generational thing:

Forsythia?

A flower could be the reproductive part of a plant, it could be that which flows (a river, for example)

The road does look to be crossing a bridge just before going up the hill.

And there is a river Windrush in the Cotswolds. If it is that, I can't find the right bridge yet.

 

[Alex321]

Got it! It is indeed the river Windrush

I know I should wait for Aravis to confirm, but I'm going to bed in a minute, and won't be back on thios computer (where the picture is) until tomorrow evening so I'll post now.

I don't expect this to take long.
