Well I guessed it wasn't round my way. Surrey roads rarely/never look that good.

Well done Colin.
In the long run I find it's easier to set an easy challenge rather than spending days/weeks trying to think up clues.

Well, in that case, and bearing in mind the sudden influx of non-visible castles...Well done Colin.

In 1985 I went to a motorcycle rally with a mate. We arrived at the location in the dark, absolutely soaked, pitched our tent and retired to the beer tent. We stayed there until it had to be evacuated and taken down due to the strengthening wind.
Next morning I looked out the tent at a scene of devastation, our tent being one of the few that had survived the gale unscathed. It had stopped raining, the sun was out and the view was that above. We were camped in the field straight ahead.
Nearly 40 years later, spotted it straight away.
Barcaldine Castle is out of shot to the left.
I'm chef for today so you'll have to wait for the next one.
Merry Christmas everyone.

Thought it looked a bit Castle Hedingham-y but had a brief look and although similar coloured houses, don't think it is

Ha ha - well done! I thought that I might need to hint at my holidays in the area.
My mum worked as a cleaner at the castle when she was young. She told us ghost stories about it!
I think you need to read ahead more!

Well due to the sudden imposition of a time limit I don't have time to search my hard drive for a suitable image so here's a picture of the picture that hangs above my PC desk.
This used to hang in my in-laws house and they had frequent discussions / arguments about where it was. My father-in-law was right, but unfortunately died before streetview came along to confirm this.
You can get (almost) the same viewpoint on streetview from the nearest road. Clearly the picture was painted either from the beach or the machair behind it but you can certainly get the landscape beyond the beach. One snag is you'll have to look sideways from the road and zoom in a bit.
