Everybody seems to be stuck, so I shall reveal.
This is in fact the new B4399 Holme Lacy bypass just outside of Hereford, which was completed in 2008.

I don't think it's this, as it's well out of your area, but that looks like the junction with Red Road (B311) and Lightwater Road near Lightwater, Surrey.

OK, there is a reason I did it this way, but you have got to work out why.

It is in the North-East of England.

Helpful? :)

I know the north-east extremely well, and I've absolubely no idea where it is. You do need to leave some clues as to where it is in the picure.

About 30/40 miles north of Hadrian's Wall, and it is somewhere along the coast.

Again, Northumberland is an area I know extremely well, and I still have no idea where it is.

30 to 40 miles north of Hadrians Wall would suggest Alnwick area, and on the coast would mean Alnmouth/Boulmer/Craster. I also can't think as to what you would have not wanted to show us. :?

It is in the Alnwick area, and there are 2 clues.

The first is behind the photo there is a landmark
The second is a women who saved people

Any ideas??

Yes, it is Bamburgh.

And this is why I didn't get a photo this way.

The right answer is in fact the A39 near the brilliantly named Woolfardisworthy (better known as Woolsery) in Devon.

New WAI today.

Do not post in this topic if you:-
[*]Live in this county.
[*]Live within 50 miles of the location.
[*]Are Truvelo.
If you are one of these 3 things you will PM me instead.

Where is this road and what is its posh name?

Here is a clue. It is somewhere in Gloucestershire.

Very little to go on, but given that it's in Gloucestershire, it feels more like the east side of the Cotswolds than anything west, and not too high up, so I'd guess somewhere in the area NE of Cirencester, but I can't see anything with an obviously "posh name".

I suspect that finding out what's attached to that pole would help: my best guess is that it's a Sustrans cycle route sign telling cyclists to turn off at a junction behind the camera, which would be a fairly minor road given there's no corresponding sign for drivers. (However, if this theory is true, it means it's not NE of Cirencester, as I've cycled the route coming in from that direction and I can't see anything that would match it.)
