Game: Name that road!

[Tail End Charlie]

Great, I often read this thread but have no idea what you all are talking about when you put up images from Google maps, which you seem to have got from searching. It's the first one I've ever recognised. I believe that means it's my turn, give me a bit and I'll see if I've anything suitable.

How about this, lovely road, it has everything a cyclist could want.

Yes, it's a lovely spot, it's Cheshire near Beeston Castle, the @ColinJ Cheshire ride goes past the locks. I've spent many sunny ride breaks looking at the barges navigating the various locks.

Haha! I meant to reply to the new one!

But yes, it does look lovely, and I suspect I've cycled it, have certainly been through Bunbury before.

Spot on @roubaixtuesday I love that road, the rock formations, hills, even a ford (I always get off) and yes @figbat from that point it's pretty much downhill all the way into Llangollen where there is a plethora of good cafes.

Llangollen where there is a plethora of good cafes.

And some extremely painful hills - from the same ride that pic was taken
