Name that road!

Are you at home or away at the moment? That. might narrow the search area.

That's a huge clue!

It looks like it is where I thought it must be, but I didn't spot it yesterday.

Someone will probably have got it by 10 pm, which is when I can get back to searching. If not, I am sure that I will track it down then.

Now back to holiday preparations...

PS I will take snaps of nice roads while I am away and keep them for future NTRs.

Ashton Road. That 2nd photo is rather a large clue - City Centre via Canal

[MontyVeda]

correct!

Over to you

 

[Alex321]

Here you go.

On streetview, the view is from a few feet higher up, which makes the hills look a bit higher.

 

[ColinJ]

correct!

Over to you

I made a silly slip... I didn't notice that it was a Google photo so I was judging direction from shadows that I thought were on a picture taken an hour or two before sunset! I thought the road was heading southish.

I did have a feeling those shadows would confuse... mid morning I guess, in April.

Apart from downhill, I've no idea which direction Alex321 is heading.

Almost due North, very slightly West of that.

The road is recorded as being a remnant of a Roman road.

I believe most of our major routes are, so that narrows it down

Does that look like a major route? And I said "recorded as".
For as real clue, it is listed in this document

It reminds me of Mid-Wales. and more specifically the areas near Sennybridge or Brecon, but can't find anything matching. It's a fairly important road judging from the size and white edge-lines, but not enough to have central road markings, so it could be a B-road or a well-used unclassified road.
As for Roman roads, there's a lot in that link - if we are talking about Wales then this is just one page of three. Might take a while to find...

Well I cycled a loop from home in the Vale of Glamorgan, so that reduces the list a lot
