Going to go for a wild fire guess of Mount Rushmore !

Why ? The place is a guess based on the image was loaded using a .us domain, it looks like a developed attraction, it looks like it could be a one way exit from the attraction... Could be completely off target though ;-)

Looks familiar, but then there's a million places around here that look kinda like that. I've never been there, so I'm going to guess Clovelly.

That was my first thought, but I can't find anywhere around there that matches.

So far "Warwick Castle" is the nearest according to directions given on Google Maps.

I'll have a stab at the Symonds Yat rock viewpoint although I can't find a precise location.

It's not Alton Towers, is it?

Actually, it does look surprisingly like Keele University - but I wouldn't call that a tourist attraction!

Not Alton Towers or Keele University.

Wild stab in the dark.... Cheddar Gorge?
