Far too easy
If you have seen those towers you would remember them.

I didn't actually know it, but for once googling what I could see - ruined abbey square towers - took me straight there.
I shall now lift the lid on the next one:

It does contain a hint, a little flower.

I suspect a small river or stream, rather than a daisy or buttercup!

The annoying thing is I looked at that very junction on the old map and dismissed it due to the fork heading north.
This being a cycling forum, I'm wondering if this hill is on one of those epic climbs that some cycling types like to endure?

bugger!
It was your clue that led me to it Colin
I looked at rivers in Devon, found the Lyd... the wiki page for that directed me to another Lyd, which led me to Lydney... alas, too late.

I started on the OS map at Gloucester. I thought the building and wall stonework looked vaguely Welsh so I looked in the direction of Wales. I had never heard of Lydney but as soon as I saw that I looked for the river, found the Lyd, got a rush of excitement, then immediately spotted that distinctive bend. I fired up Street View, and there it was!

Yep, the bend stood out a mile!

I'm around, @ColinJ. Having seen a bit of activity on the thread I was trying to find a good anagram of "Forest of Dean" with no success whatsoever. Then I saw I'd been rescued.
Well done - that was pretty much the trail I hoped someone would find. Notice that the hill climbs up to a part of the town called Primrose Hill, so there was a proper flower (well, the name anyway) in the picture as well.
I lived in Lydney for about 15 years and I still take my car back to the garage I know. I had to pay them a visit last week and took the chance to get a few local road pictures, and this was easily the best.
Bring it on Colin!
