You underestimate us! That front wheel valve stem isn't at 12 or 6 o'clock.

No part of Wales is visible from this location. Today's cryptic clue -
Look West ruther than east.

Valve stems at 6 o'clock, crank parallel to down tube - the Twin Law of cycling photography. I've put that directly behind me now.

I was close to the source of a river - is it Rowan's?

I think this is it. The clues suddenly came into alignment:

A mile or so northish from Westruther. How I didn't get the Blackadder clue earlier I don't know.

Well done @Aravis , over to you. For those who didn't get the clues (everyone else 
) the village straight ahead is Westruther. Directly behind me is Twin Law, so called because of the two massive cairns on the summit, which are visible from where my photo is taken but they don't show up well, particularly on streetview. Twin Law is on the southern edge of the Lammermuir, or the Lammermoor as Scott spelled it. Rowan's River is the Blackadder Water.

A little voice tells me I need to give a clue.
The wooded hill shares its name with a suburb of a large Bedfordshire town.

I've been looking around Limbury Hill (before the clue) as it seemed familiar to me having ridden that part of the world a fair few times but I just can't find the correct lane.

OK, let's look at the nearer green hill on the right. Some capital to be found there.
