A disused railway line in the west.

I still can't work out where Finn was, though.

Tiverton?

It's not anywhere on the Strawberry Line, is it?
The level surroundings suggested Somerset to me, but it could be some flat bits of Devon, or even Cornwall.

It is indeed. Aka The Cheddar Valley Line.
Care to be more specific?

I'm struggling a bit here, JayMac.
I know the route of the Strawberry Line well from cycling it between Yatton and Cheddar - but not beyond there.
Shepton Mallet?

Hmmm, there's apparently a fairly recently opened new stretch somewhere but the bit in the photo looks too well established.
Could it be the short bit that I gather runs north of Yatton Station?

Hold on just a moment: the Strawberry Line doesn't go anywhere north of Yatton station. That was the Clevedon branch line.

I stand corrected m'lud.

Reminds me of an anecdote about some court case, where an expert witness gave a detailed explanation of a very technical point to the court. At the end of it, the judge announced, "Thank you for all of that evidence, but I'm actually none the wiser." A barrister replied, "No, m'lud - but you are now much better informed."

Not Shepton Mallet.
But it is between there and Cheddar...

I would have expected a call if it was anywhere around there.

I thought that it looked a bit like the old line heading past Cowleymoor and on towards Bolham. Nor walked it for a few years ago though.

Are we on the outskirts of Wells?

We are indeed, Tony.
Between the former Wells (Tucker St) and Wookey stations. Looking toward the site of Wookey Station which is about a ΒΌ mile away.
To my left is a large new build housing estate off the A371 road to Cheddar. My daughter and her partner live here.
