Bingo. Here is one taken by someone else from just around the corner looking in the opposite direction:

Sadly I never cycled those roads often. Some lovely roads too.

Someone run with this while I see what else I have!

A very easy one to fill in the time till Steph gets back:

Ah, it's the famous bus shelter on the B1666 between Seldom Whinges and Nether Regions.

Remarkably close in every way other than geography.

Marsh Gibbon?

Marsh Gibbon?

Closer, both in terms of distance and, especially, name.

Clue: it's not a bus stop.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #6708 on:** 16 January, 2017, 06:29:46 pm »

It's not a bus stop. It's not a Gibbon. It's in Wiltshire.

From the bin bag it's a railway station. Dilton Marsh?

Those are Percherons, as the article says, albeit with a bit of flannel about Shires. That's 'Percherons' as in 'Mortagne au Perche', and in the miseheard Spandau Ballet lyric, 'I don't need this Percheron'.

The horses in my video are Belgian Ardennes, working on PAWS Restoration. The speech is a layman's guide to what that means in practice, activated by proximity. It must freak the deer out a bit.

Here's a head spinner for you:

That's the Kincardine bridge.

Haresfield?

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #6718 on:** 13 July, 2017, 10:34:32 am »

Right general region, wrong county though.

tonyh · « **Reply #6719 on:** 13 July, 2017, 11:50:41 am »

Kirtlington??

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #6720 on:** 13 July, 2017, 02:46:37 pm »

Colder!

Warmer.

Vince · « **Reply #6723 on:** 17 July, 2017, 08:02:48 pm »

Uley is warmer, but Haresfield is in the wrong county?
