Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
Looks nice. Looks a bit like the Ashdown Forest at first glance, but it isn't.
Is that dark animal a horse or a cow I wonder. Looks a bit square and cowy. But if it's a horse then it could give us a hint.

Definitely not a horse. Or if it is it's not winning any prizes for conformation. I'm Team Cow.
Looks to be direct into the sun, so south-ish.
No fences or field boundaries - dotted road on OS.
Looks Southern to me.
Some hills.
Plenty of cows.
New Forest/ SW moors? Had a look and don't think it's the New Forest

It was meant to be a clue. James Garner of Rockford Files fame...
Anyway, here it is: near the village of Rockford in the New Forest:

A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma
I've ridden that road, dagnabbit!

OK, I must stop dithering. This is a road I cycled one day in 1984. This streetview image was grabbed a couple of months ago:

That's a good clue... I'm fairly sure that our paths didn't cross in 1984, so if I can remember everywhere that I went in daylight hours that year, I can cross those places off the list of candidate roads!

I can't remember seeing you either, but perhaps we both looked rather different then.That's a good clue... I'm fairly sure that our paths didn't cross in 1984, so if I can remember everywhere that I went in daylight hours that year, I can cross those places off the list of candidate roads!
By mentioning that I was there in 1984 I was preparing the way for a possible future clue. In pre-bypass days it wouldn't have been possible to enjoy the fair banks of the lake as much as the guy on Streetview probably is.

Me too. Was with the little one on our epic 20 mile ride. We stopped just a bit further down that road for our final snack stop before heading home to Fordingbridge.
So, what do we have?
A lake.
A low wall, and maybe yew trees? Perhaps a church, cemetery or stately home???
Sun behind, so probably going Northish.
Bypassed within last few decades.
Not much to go on tbh.
