That's All Saints' church, about 4.8km on 333°T from your house

Others may continue to guess

I used to think that church up on the hill looked very French. I'll be down there again next Sunday (visiting friends on the Bath Road).

With the paraglider floating past, St Marie Eglise sprang to mind.

No. Don't be misled by the direction of the sun/beach/mud.

Anyway, while we ponder on that:

An easy one?

I would say so

Jaded · « **Reply #1988 on:** 21 July, 2009, 12:39:02 am »

We have a unique situation - two people (excluding me) know where it is, and many of you have cycled relatively near to it. The Tratters, for example passed about 4 miles from it and David Martin about 1.5 miles.

Riggers · « **Reply #1989 on:** 21 July, 2009, 08:28:30 am »

It's not in Sussex. That's all I can say!

Probably correct for both.

It is one of the ruined abbeys. I'm presuming not one of the borders ones (Melrose, Kelso, Jedburgh, Dryburgh) so should be Gloucestershireish.

Looks like Cotswold stone.

Hmmm. Tricky one, even with some cheating. Somewhere near you? Tay estuary?

Seven Estuary?

Wowbagger · « **Reply #1998 on:** 22 July, 2009, 05:11:53 pm »

There are some pretty high hills in the distance. The sunset makes me think it's east coast.

Could it be somewhere in the Western Isles, possibly taken from the causeway between Benbecula and South Uist?
