Where am I?

Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View, work out my location.

Although Roman, THC’s chief puzzlewright, would be interested to know how long it takes you to solve this solo foxer, he’d rather you didn’t put spoilers or solutions in the comments.

Today I’m in a village in one of the British ‘Home Nations’. Scrambled, the village’s name is ‘nylon tag’. The nearest ‘A’ road is about 170 metres away, runs through the village on a roughly north-south alignment, and has a three-digit number (the digits add up to seventeen). The nearest public footpath is a few paces from where I’m standing. About 540 metres from a Chinese takeaway with ‘Garden’ in its name, and approximately the same distance from the site of a railway station closed in 1962, I’m closer to an Anglican church than I am to a Methodist one, and closer to a branch of Asda than a branch of Tesco. The nearest national park is just over a mile away, and was established in a year a Conservative PM resigned in the UK.

You are probably in the right place if you can see…

  • White horses
  • A red Ford Fiesta
  • A sunbathing dog
  • Dandelions
  • Vapour trails
  • An unusual 19th Century fortification
  • A person taking down Christmas decorations
  • Daffodils and other signs of spring
