The "guess the place" thread

[Tewdric]

While you're thinking, this might be easy...

Need more clues?

Is that that little shack on the cliffs in Cornwall where the original transatlantic cable came ashore?

Need more clues?

Probably, but maybe we're not quite making the fullest use of what we already have.

Further clues are above: tidal, not Cornwall. There's something by Lutyens nearby.

[Tewdric]

Castle Drogo connection perchance?

Castle Drogo connection perchance?

Well...sort of, but nowhere near there.

[Tewdric]

That's the only Lutyens building I know!

North Devon?  Was the clifftop location and transatlantic cable warm?

(Googles. Admires area, grateful for reason to look at map of it. Withdraws.)

[Ian H]

Not the Southwest.

If that's the tarn below Seat Sandal, you've gone to a lot of trouble moving Gable and the Scafells to somewhere in the region of Penrith.

You're sort of on the right track. What's the Tarn called and where am I standing?

However, admired wrong area (Mothecombe). Nice though, and tidal, and Lutyens.

(Rearranges mental hills strenuously, swapping Fairfield and Seat Sandal back into possibly correct positions....)

Grisedale Tarn,  and you are at Deepdale Hause.
If that's wrong, I'm even more confused.
If it's right, please can someone else post the next one, I can't at the moment.

Holy Island / Lindisfarne ?

[Tourist Tony]

I stayed out of that one because I know the area.

That is indeed correct, that was on Sunday, as we came off St Sunday Crag and on to Fairfield while doing the Deepdale Horseshoe. Exceptional weather, although Saturday was a bit misty over 2,000 feet.

Not the Southwest.

Valentia island?

[Ian H]

Charterhall gets it.

[Rig of Jarkness]

Charterhall gets it.

Yay !  I didn't have a clue until you said tidal and Lutyens.

How about this one ?


 

[Mr Larrington]

Were it not for that gert big hill in the background I'd say it was where I had my second visit from She Who Must Not Be Named on the 2007 Chiltern-Cotswold.

But it isn't, obv.

Near Fortingall, taken on a sunny Tayside Transgression?

Where it is always Dull in bright sunshine..

Can't be. Your gilet's not lying in the middle of the road

[Rig of Jarkness]

Nowhere close so far.  Here's a clue - it's not a public road.  And lots of audaxers will have passed by it.

[Peter]

It looks like the Lake District again?

[Ian H]

Castle Howard?
