Oddly enough, when I typed Helwith Bridge, I meant to type Halton Gill, that being at the top of Littondale. Weird.
EDIT to add ... I'll put another one up within the hour.

I am particularly pleased that my detective powers did not fail me ... It obviously looks like the Dales. There is a river running parallel to the road below, with a bridge to cross to the village. It looks like there is a lane going left out of the village but a minor one which probably doesn't go anywhere. It is a steep-sided valley and I deduced from the shadows on the hillside that it probably ran vaguely NW-SE. There is a gully up the opposite hillside from the village which no doubt has a stream running down it. The village looks pretty remote.
this year's the 2016 Settle forum ride and yes, it is a lovely road!
I won't name SoV's road because I was the one taking the photo!
Apart from it being fun trying to 'Name That Road', my intention was that we would post photographs that inspire people to ride in places that they haven't been to before. SoV actually took us down that road on

And I read Fountains Fell and Littondale but didn't notice the Helwith Bridge!

Oh dear, I got so tired cycling up that hill with SoV et al that I had to take a rest leaning on the side of my photo!

Another picture at the same place
On the Hubberholme to Hawes road (it probably has another name). looking north and just before the descent towards Hawes starts.
I never realised there was a view.

Correct. 'Top of Fleet Moss' could be a good description. The view you had there is fairly typical

I've done Fleet Moss (from the shallower side) but wouldn't recognise the view.

Yes that's the name that escaped me, and Google maps wasn't much help in finding it.Correct. 'Top of Fleet Moss' could be a good description. The view you had there is fairly typical
I'll post up a mystery picture tomorrow - just off on a night ride with some other CCers now.

I think the definitely falls into the category of "If you know it, you know it, and if you don't, then you don't"! 
(I don't know it!)
PS Actually, it slightly reminds me of Ridehalgh Lane (Widdop Road) between Hebden Bridge and Colne. I don't think that it is there, but your photo was taken from a different angle to the view from the Google car.
