Wrong county but near enough (Aldershot is in Hampshire and I was about 10 metres into Surrey when I took this). It's the Ash Aqueduct, where the Basingstoke Canal crosses the A331. Built in 1995 and, it is claimed, the only aqueduct built in Britain in the 20th Century.

Claimed incorrectly. The new bradwell aqueduct was opened in 1991 (shropshire union canal).
There is a new one at Semington but that is 21st Century.

May be quite easy... 'exact' spot begins with "R"...

Easy peasy. But where from?
You shurrup, Noodley.

Obviously too many of you have been agonising over this, judging by the total lack of response.

It's Fort William from the Lundavra Road. A dead end, but a lovely road to ride on, with spectacular views of Ben Nevis. I'd forgotten all about it until Y Lee G mentioned his mother-in-law lives in Fort William.

Fairly easy to get the approximate location. The 3 gathering should provide a clue to the actual location.

Another hint. There is a shakespearian connection.

Dunsinane?

Yup. Look the other way and if it hadn't been a bit dreich you can see Birnam wood.

Nice spot for a sunday afternoon amble. Unfortunately the camera on the phone isn't good enough to pick out the Tay Bridge in the background (about the furthest distance you can see the bridge from on land.)
