Game: Name that road!

[Dogtrousers]

It does look a lot like the Sugar Loaf "mountain" near Abergavenny.

That was my thought ... almost. It reminded me of Skirrid Fawr (just next to Sugarloaf, and smaller). But I don't think it is.

Wind farms in Wales is the summary so far

Looks a bit like Pen Y Pass but I'm not sure.

Yes. I wouldn't concentrate too much on the hills, they're not particularly famous ones.

 

[ColinJ]

I've made a couple of quick searches but not spotted it. If nobody finds it by tomorrow, I'll spend a bit more time on the hunt!

If it is Wales (and I think it is) then there aren't many candidates.

Must be outside a national park (or the windfarm at least must be), and the road has a clear view of the wind farm from a high elevation.

There are very few such in Wales; most of the main (or main-er) roads are in valleys or the higher passes within the national parks.

I can't find any potentials at all.

Yes definitely Wales. And you're heading towards the sea in this photo.

 

[Ming the Merciless]

It’s an A road , got some ideas on likely candidates but have other stuff to do.

I was going to say that the sky looked like it was towards the sea

I only looked at A-roads earlier but I had a look at some B-roads just now which were as wide as that. (Most were NOT!)

 

[GuyBoden]

There are plenty of wind farms in the Rhondda valley, but I can't find the NTR there.

Here it is: the A4120 heading westwards from Devil's Bridge, but at this spot pointing northwards:

Well done!

It is a bit more obvious in the 2011 picture...

 

[GuyBoden]

Yes, I found that earlier today, but wasn't sure. Well done.

Near the Cefn Croes, wind farm, Ceredigion, Wales.

Well done @Aravis , good sleuthing. Must admit I hadn't checked it carefully against current views on street view and thought it was at the next bend but you are clearly right. Shame about the mist though.
