It's Stang Top. South of Barnard |castle
Now I need to sort out a pic. I may have to resort to google streetview
I got that from the anagram of Tent Shag. I didn't get the rest of the clue.

Sting was the singer in The Police, sounds similar to Stang when pronounced by someone with a strong Irish accent
Yes your turn.
The Stang is Number 57 in the 100 climbs list.

Bingo! That one lasted seven minutes. And no need for my Roman villa clues!

@roubaixtuesday and @Sea of vapours were both close on their first instincts, I was surprised when they didn't get it.

It is just beyond where I have cycled to. I have ridden down Arkengarthdale twice and up it once, but never ventured up the Stang. It is on my to-do list though.

Nice to see that you still drop in to CycleChat from time to time. It would be good to do another forum ride with you and @Littgull once the corona virus situation is under control. (I haven't seen him since before the big lockdown.)

I just had a glance at the map. It was precisely where I thought it would be yet somehow I ignored that road completely.
I conclude that I'm a total div.

Got to be quick around here I missed that one I lived on the Stang back in the 70's Spanham the large house on the hill top before entering the trees coming from the A66
