Game: Name that road!

[ColinJ]

Somewhere between Burnsall and Grassington?

Are you thinking of the little lane between Cracoe and Thorpe, near Burnsall? That has a grassy strip down the centre. It is so narrow, steep, twisty and turny though that the Street View car has not been down it.

There's a place called Lingy Holm (Stifling your) in the Lake District. Unfortunately, it appears to be actually in Ullswater. So a bit too wet.

Edit. It's not that

Or we are but none of the 30 odd synonyms are leaping off the map as a road /place/ farm name in the peaks...

 

[Ming the Merciless]

One of those is right

I was so relieved his clue wasn't to the brand of walking boots his model was wearing.

I like this because the sheep have congregated near the "warning sheep" sign, but was the sign there first or the sheep?

I can, with reasonable confidence, assert that this is not the Peak District
