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 about 300 metres above sea level on an island that’s mentioned in Jane Eyre. The beer drunk hereabouts shares a name with a British bookmaker and a Finding Nemo character. If I wished to crow-fly to the nearest lighthouse I’d need to flap EbN. During the flight I’d pass over a roundabout and a rose garden, and fly close to a vineyard. The lighthouse in question was built in the Fifties. About 1.5 miles from the eastern mouth of a kilometre-long road tunnel opened less than a decade ago, and a five-minute bimble from a picnic area, I’m closer to the sea than I am to the nearest petrol station.

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

  • Weeps
  • A TV set
  • A roll of strimmer line
  • Caterpillar tracks
  • A crumpled crash barrier
  • An aqueduct you could step over
  • The ocean
  • A white Renault Kangoo van
  • Blue hydrangeas
  • No road markings
  • The letters ‘LA’
