Game: Name that road!

[Ming the Merciless]

Ooh, after some research... it seems that IT MAY NOT BE A ROMAN ROAD AFTER ALL!

I wondered about those grooved cobblestones when I walked down there years ago.

That’s the clue thst led me there as I remember when walking the Pennine way that Wainwright called it a Roman road in his books. It’s marked Roman road one end and Packhorse other end on latest OS mapping. The other clue was cars going right to left perpendicular to direction of photo. Which meant this road was heading up to a t junction.

So that's why I didn't get it

Looking down to the Talla reservoir from the Megget/St Mary's Loch direction

We had another recent one from this road looking upwards, and I think I may even have done one from about here many moons ago.

That's the last one I posted but from the top of the steep bit. Tweedsmuir to St Mary's, looking towards Talla Reservoir.

Rats, beaten by seconds.

Your next one

This is taken on quite a zoom, but it is possible to find a spot on this road on google maps with all the landscape features lining up. Also, there is a building on google that looks different to here, presumably having been changed since the google image was taken.

Ha, too easy, but I do like riding that road

@robjh It can't be Herefordshire as the potholes have actually been filled

the angles of the fence posts of the RH side suggest somewhere windswept and possibly coastal. Maybe it's an estuary rather than an inland stretch of river.

OK, time for some help. The areas of water are not a river. It is windswept but not coastal.

Seems most likely to be in the fens somewhere, given how flat it is.

There seem to be big hills in the distance though...

probably view of Holland...

might be the wolds of the Lincolnshire variety...

There are indeed some hills and lumps in the distance, but it's already in quite a high place.

In more info, you could be at the sea within 20 miles from here, in two directions.
