It's in Derbyshire.

Based on extensive Google Streetview research I can confirm that Derbyshire is absolutely stuffed with attractive villages that look almost, but not quite, like this.

I'm not going to give any major clues that would lead to the name of the road....

Spot on. That was too quick. Second day of the Bryan Chapman, that climb up past X Foxes was a beast! I am going to go with something really obscure next time.

That's gotta be a record in this thread!

Beautiful road and as you say, what a descent, especially with those sweeping views. Cycled it last summer so relatively fresh in the memory.

Right, this shouldn't be too tricky either. Cycled through here from home with fully laden panniers for a camping weekend last year. Was a tough day in the saddle, but weather was as glorious as it is in this pic, and I had an emergency pint and pie in a pub just behind where this was taken!

EDIT: forgot to attach pic, then my phone died!

Looks to be heading due West by the shadows - has the look of Tissington, Parwich or somewhere around there.

But I can't find anything on a map looking remotely right.

Ha - I cycled along the road at the bottom of that hill twice in 2004, once in each direction! I went through Brassington on my mega-hilly 225 km ride from Hebden Bridge to Coventry, and returned a week later heading home.

I remember Brassington as being where the big hills finally stopped heading south, and where they started heading north. Very nice round there!

👍 I diverted off the high peak trail to the Miner's Arms, then struggled back up the hill to rejoin it afterwards. Over to you...

Okay here's mine, and it does meet the rule "should be taken on a public road"

No, not Cheshire.

 

[Shreds]

Malvern Hills from the East, so Worcestershire perhaps?

Nope, not the Malvern Hills. Not Wocestershire.

 

[ColinJ]

No, not Cheshire.

And for that reason...




... I'm out!

(The wooded hills in the distance reminded me of Peckforton Hills near Nantwich. I don't have a clue now.)

Its Shropshire isn't it

Looks Welsh to me... Mawddach perhaps?
