Clue - I am in a place associated with a composer (the hill in the photo was an especial favourite of his) whose works have been played a lot in the last few days.

I haven't had time to work out which "county beacon" this is, as travelling about, and would be struggling for images anyway ;)

You clearly know the answer! :wink: (either "beacon" would do, I was just looking for the general name for the hills)

I recall that the person we are not mentioning said on his deathbed "If you're walking on these hills and hear someone whistling my Cello Concerto, don't worry. It'll just be me."

Extra clue (for those not into classical music) I am in an English Midlands county (associated with sauce!), and the name of the county is part of the name of the hill.

But it is fine to just name the hill range - the name is Welsh/Ancient British, and means "bare hills". The hills are a landmark across much of the western Midlands.
