It is and it's in Herefordshire, albeit the Welsh might claim it, as if they haven't enough hills of their own.
Your go.



Oops, completely forgot about this.


OK, how about this one. Where was I (roughly)?

Having been brought up in Guildford I am thinking it is Guildford Cathedral. If it is I will have to look at some maps, as it’s not a view I recognise.

It is indeed. Have a look at the maps and you might work out where I am, which isn't accessible all of the time, and does give a unique view of how wooded Surrey is. But its your turn anyway.

Just to complete the picture, are you on Ash Ranges?

Yes I was. Its a great view of a lot of Surrey from there, trees everywhere, with Woking and Guildford sticking out of them, and the line of the North downs behind. If you've got a piccy, post away as Lakeswater is away.

Sorry not logged in for a couple of days.

Not there - it’s not on the south coast… but similar geology…
