Its Shropshire isn't it

Nope, Shropshire is too southern.

@roubaixtuesday - nope, it's in England

I thought it might the Wrekin, but that has a mast on it.

Okay, it is a sneaky photo for a reason that I won't reveal yet, however I thought the shape of the horizon would be recognisable to someone.

Time for a county clue. Cumbria

Sneaky? Interesting

Because on a map you won't see any water?

I would guess somewhere around Grange-over-Sands and Cartmel, but looking for potentially flooded areas hasn't found it yet.

Yes but it's not doctored in any way

Yes it's a (freshwater) flood rather than a lake, and you're looking slightly too far south.

I thought that the public road clue may have been the M6. I was looking at the various services. with a wooded hill nearby. I am going out now, so expect that someone will find this soon.

"Public road" wasn't a clue, I was just confirming I was standing on tarmac at the time. And it certainly wasn't a motorway!

Sorry if I've made this too difficult! Obviously time for another clue to narrow the search area.
From a lakeside location I was travelling towards something familiar in this thread - not a lighthouse.

I was wondering if it might have been taken from somewhere along The Bay Cycle Way... and you clue suggests you're heading towards The Hoad at Ulverston. But from which direction??? I'm taking your 'lakeside' location clue literally and searching around Lakeside... still can't find it though.

Is it the A5084 just south of Blawith ?

 

[MontyVeda]

After giving up on the Lakeside area... i've been scooting up and down there too... but still can't find it.

Getting v close now. Lakeside to Ulverston gives you my route, but I hadn't got to the Bay Cycleway yet, nor is the photo looking towards it.

Nope, not up there. Not an A road.

I feel sure it must be the Causeway as it heads westwards from Causeway End, so the picture is looking almost due north up the Rusland Valley. The Google images seem to be from 2009 and I can't identify the actual gate, but this could be somewhere close:

going closer to the house up the lane gives a better approximation, but alas, I can't find that gate either, or even a different gate with the same stone post and tree/big bush.
