the land at Sutton Hoo was owned by the family of the matron at my school.

York viking centre?

No, but

Sutton Hoo?

yes it's Sutton Hoo and that is probably a record 8 minutes and 1 second!

Lucky guess

Well, with the peaty water it may well be North Scotland.

Somewhere in the Pennines?

Definitely Pennines-flavoured.

Manifold?

North of the Peak District. Limestone and dolerite.

Deano · « **Reply #794 on:** 13 October, 2008, 04:25:40 pm »

Yup, the Whin Sill. I wondered if that was too obscure a clue - I'm glad somebody got it.

Sorry, I may have given the wrong impression with this - the Whin Sill isn't the answer I was looking for, since that covers half of Northern England. The photo was taken at a specific and famous place.
