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 on a road with an apt name. The road is in England, is relatively short and young, and doesn’t have a broken white line along its centre. In the vicinity of a self-satisfied tree, I’m around 520 metres from a location used in a notable horror movie, and about two and half miles from a famous alley. The nearest motorway to my location is under a kilometre away and is less than 150 miles long. The county you are seeking has an ungulate on its flag, doesn’t play first class cricket, and has a photo that includes a dartboard on its Wikipedia page. All of the counties it abuts would come before it in an alphabetical list of English counties. Today there is one church within a 150m radius of my location. Ten years ago there were two. I’m closer to a paintball venue and a nudist site than I am to a police station, Tesco Express, or veterinary clinic.
