I was just thinking Grantchester but then I realised that (a) Grantchester Church looks nothing like that and (b) the clock's five minutes slow.

Got to be some kind of high access public area. A viewing point. Near the sea.

You mean the allegedly overated money spinner?

(Source of the quote above was my tour guide when he took us to the opposite rim of the 'Big Gash').

Clue:

A little bit closer to home, of national importance.

Only of local importance, but it looks a bit like the Thames Barrier...

Hmmm. Don't think so. I was there a couple of weeks ago and don't recall seeing any glass to walk on.

Could be Warkworth Castle, though I can't help but think that the sea should be in shot.

Isn't it all a bit vertically squashed?

andrew_s · « **Reply #1968 on:** 18 July, 2009, 05:02:12 pm »

The right shape this time

Middleham Castle, near Leyburn

Well done, Middleham Castle it is. Thought that might have been tricky from that angle.

I assume something went wrong when I resized the image?

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