Game: Name that road!

[figbat]

Google News search for church bell noise issues, time limited to 2012-2014. This threw a couple of options up in roughly the right place (gleaned from Tribansman's posting history), then Google Maps hunting, using the shadows as a guide to where the image was taken relative to the church.

I'm pretty confident I have it right (given @Trickedem 's independent corroboration), so here's mine. I reckon this will go quickly so no clues to start with other than it is in my neck of the woods.

 

[MontyVeda]

Yep, you're definitely right @figbat... and i'm pretty confident I am too:

Chain Hill, near Wantage

 

[figbat]

Told you it would be quick!

just lucky googling I'm afraid... 'rusty tank oxfordshire' led me to an image on Alamy of a tank similar to yours (but no grafitti), which gave me the Wantage area.

Here's mine...

Good work @figbat and @Trickedem. At the right spot on that road, there's a 360° panorama that takes in Herts, Beds and Cambs. It's a cracking view.

I should have got that! I ride through Ashwell a lot - not often on that road, but on a parallel one with similar views. I had convinced myself it would be in the Cotswolds though so never thought of looking in my own back yard.

I think I see a Mast to the right of the hill. I am enjoying looking at the OS maps of Lancashire. This doesn't look that high though, so I think this might be a view looking South

You're certainly in the right county

 

[ColinJ]

I know where I think it might be, but am just checking...

 

[Trickedem]

i'm closing in on this. Certainly makes me want to come and do some more riding in Lancashire.

I've been searching all over Halton Park, Quernmore Park and surrounding area. Think I must be in the wrong place.

The stretch of road pictured was the only pleasant part of that particular ride... I'll bore ye'all with the details when someone gets it

It's a little out of my usual riding area... as for a clue:

It's closer to Colin's neck of the woods than mine

Close but no cigar
