(My apologies, Terry, if this is in the map and I just have not recognized it for what it is).
It’s a country place where there is a curve in a dirt track, and – to right of screen - a grassy (sometimes heathery) bank where the trio often sit or recline in the grass. Mid to right of screen there’s a fence for some of the way up the track (a farm gate at right angles to the fence can just be glimpsed), and there’s also a stone wall (lower than the fence) behind where they sit. To the left there is more greenery - a kind of a dell with two or three stony paths visible leading up the sides of it.
Although I seem to have seen it in quite a few episodes, one of the most memorable is at the very end of “Where There’s Smoke there’s Barbeque” where Howard sets up the wooden bench he made for him and Marina behind a bush, and it gets severely damaged when Compo, Clegg and Foggy attempt to use the barbecue they bought from Auntie Wainwright’s; at the end of the episode, Howard and Marina are walking back down the curving track carrying the blackened remains of their bench.
Is it within walking distance of the nearest town or village? I’d love to visit this iconic place on my next trip to Holmfirth but can’t figure out where it is!
