Game: Name that road!

[ColinJ]

I am checking an area that might fit the bill. I don't know if I am anywhere near your scene, but what I am looking at is wonderful and will definitely be somewhere for a future cycling holiday!

yes its Whipsnade / Bison hill. I even included a bit of the chalk Lion , and I thought the fence was a good clue - I think its its just an extra overflow fence in case something breaches the inner stuff, as that is just a field adjoining the road.

It is also one of those Hills that if you ride up it you don't forget it.

@Dogtrousers
I think like a lot of these entries, if you've ridden the road you can dredge it out of your memory very quickly , if not then its a more forensic trawl of google maps/ street view

That fence is designed to keep things/people out. Note the overhang is on the outside, not the inside.

A hill I attempted to ride up on my heavy three-speed on one of the hottest days of 1976. It didn't end well...

Whipsnade:

Bugger I knew this one immediately but was outdoors getting some exercise in.

I'm sure that I went to Whipsnade zoo as a child. Is it on rolling hills, and are there chunks of flint lying about on the hillsides?

If so, then that is where we stopped for a school picnic. A teacher was describing how Stone Age man made axe heads out of flint. I picked up 2 big pieces, cracked them together, and almost sliced a thumb off with the razor sharp edge I produced!

It is edge of Chilterns near Dunstable Downs. So think South Downs like but much less traffic.

By dint of some outrageous cheating

@Aravis mentioned he'd pinched his picture from the web so I did a reverse image search on it. I feel a bit ashamed.

It looks utterly glorious

The original is here https://www.ayrshirescotland.com/barr-walking-routes.html

I'm sure Ayrshirescotland.com won't mind as I'm sure it's inspired a number of us to visit.

I'll go ahead and post the next one because I know I'm right due to my utterly shameful cheating, for which @ColinJ may well ban me from the thread - so I'll get this in quickly.

Name that road!

First guess, Chesil Beach.

Bang on. The little square blip in the middle is Abbotsbury Abbey.

11 minutes is actually a long time for one of mine.

Over to you @BrumJim

You've got quicker fingers than me, I was back and forth on street view trying to find the right layby....

I was still rueing how close i'd been in ayrshire, albeit following a false lead.

 

[Willd]

Welland Viaduct?

 

[ColinJ]

I can't get the exact view of the latest one, but it is looking very like Welland Viaduct in Rutland, taken from the B672?
