Re: Picture(s) of the day....
You might get a seascape like that 'round Hastings and Eastwards, but that really is clutching at straws. The church looks like it should be somewhere near Peacehaven or Newhaven.
More clues needed.

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Another clue, I have driven 320 miles in total today, which included a bit of cruising around at the place. This picture was taken within a 10 minute drive of the church

Having just driven past it on route from Christchurch to Hengistbury I can confirm you have hit the nail on the head Dormouse

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Well done chaps, indeed it is as is obvious from the web picture being taken from the same place as mine but for final confirmation here is one from the other side:

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
One of my earlier searches was for Hampshire Churches. I can easily keep up with the cream of our UK universities on questions of the geography of the UK on University Challenge, but I still carry some now redundant information. I always regarded Bournemouth as being in Hampshire. It was when I was on holiday a couple of times in my youth. Now I see it is in Dorset and has been for many years. Geograph does have images of our church tagged with Dorset...as it is.

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
When I first saw the 'frosty field' I was looking on my phone, this morning I looked again on the big screen and noticed the caravan which had passed me by! Now I understand the caption!!

Re: Picture(s) of the day....
Another campsite makes Geograph Photo of the day.
But where is it?
But where is it?
REgards Neilxxxxxxxxxxx Scouts' campsite "Nine Acres" - recent snowfall and a full moon have created sufficient light for this image to be taken with a fifteen second exposure. Stars can be seen in the night sky together with moonshadows on the snow. In the distance, lights from dwellings in the xxxxx xx xxxxx are just visible.
