Junction on the B1368 at the south end of Braughing

Recognised it instantly from many rides down there, including waiting for other cyclists who have taken the wrong turning in the village.

Looks Hebridean to me.

Bugger I looked there but thought white thing on right was a house. Now realise it’s a ship.

I think it’s here

Yes well done. It's the causeway from Berneray to North Uist, looking south to Uist. The ferry from Harris arrives a little further north, but then moors up overnight by the causeway.

Right, it's the Harris to Berneray (for Uist) ferry which moors up beside the causeway overnight. The actual terminal is behind me on this view, but I suppose there must be limited room for a largish boat to moor for long.

Hmm, a flat area, probably drained marshland, with low hills in the distance. Too neat for the Fens IMO so I'm thinking maybe Somerset Levels, Romney Marsh, Halvergate Marshes near Great Yarmouth - but not found the right location yet.

It’s in Kent

The Kent knowledge made it possible. It's the B2082 a few miles south of Tenterden:

Well done. So I wasn't far off in thinking Romney Marsh but had been looking a little further south, as I didn't realise the flatlands extended up quite this far.
