Game: Name that road!

[ColinJ]

As I mentioned up thread when I spotted the Ben Loyal picture, I have no camera and therefore no pictures. But I love the thread and hope somebody on my behalf will jump in and post a photo.

Ok, here's one...

Crag Vale?

Crag Vale?

Indeed it IS. The km markers were painted on the road for when the Tour de France peloton rode up there on stage 2 from York to Sheffield in 2014.

Your turn!

There is sea in the distance, and the landscape here looks high but fairly flat. It also looks like there is a popular walking route crossing the road at this point.

I'm thinking South Downs but haven't found the road yet. However, judging from the shadows we are probably facing west, so that cuts the possibilities down, and might even point to another part of the country.

 

[youngoldbloke]

Not sea, but distant downs (but not South). Popular walking route yes. Facing north west.

 

[youngoldbloke]

Anyone?

I've drawn a blank on that one. Can you give us any more clues?

Ok, I'll make it easy for you. The carpark on the right serves those wanting to walk (and ride) 'a route used since prehistoric times by travellers, herdsmen and soldiers'

Obviously somewhere on the ridgeway? Uffington?

Part of that answer's correct, but not Uffington.

Hmm, know some bits of the ridgeway but don't know the car park and there isn't a lot else in the picture to pin it down.
Apart from some pirate has buried his treasure in the middle of the road.
