It is late and I have had a long walk.





Cabot Circus?

Yes, it's the bridge connecting the new car park at the bottom of the M32 to the centre.
It is simpler than it looks.

Just mine outstanding then.

Surely someone knows where it is!  I can tell you that a number of forum members were riding a very short distance from here just recently.

No, but I think you may be able to see Pendle from there.  You may have to walk up to a low ridge.

Did this get an answer?  If not, is it Fort William?

Too far north, but right side of the country.

If you went down that road and turned first left, you'd be heading pretty much for Pendle.

It looks sort of like it might be one of the old seaside towns. Lyme (nearish the lifeboat station)? But IIRC that is flags rather than cobbles.

There's a path like that in Dartmouth - is it anywhere thereabouts?
