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 England in Springtime next to a splendid moss-encrusted dry stone wall. The wall runs along one side of a narrow lane that leads to a grade II listed structure. Less than 100 metres from a double-track railway line, I’m roughly 340 metres from a pub that has a rectangular farm animal on its sign. About two miles away, the nearest ‘A’ road has a two-digit number beginning with a 6, is approximately 110 kilometres in length, and is aligned NW-SE. The nearest village to my location has a ten-letter name that, if split in the middle, would produce two words found in an English dictionary. Not all that local (it plays its home matches in a ground that’s roughly 27 miles away) the ‘local’ EFL Championship team didn’t finish its last league game.

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