@RosyRickett Ah, I see it now! This is in Nayland, south Suffolk, a road we call Gravel Hill, probably forming part of a St Edmunds Way (pilgrim route), and heading north of the village (the pic looks south)

011 Praise the Whale and Sea julespretty.com/2024/05/05/011… [8 mins] We didn’t see at all, that the whales knew so much. The whale saved the people. Now we know, they attract visitors to remote ports, keen to watch the whale. They also capture blue carbon. Their numbers are rising.
