    Eh, it’s changeable. Somedays it’s oilrigs, sometimes cruise ships, typhoon jets, folk queuing outside the bakers……

    If I squint through the smog down the hill into Southampton centre and over the water, sometimes we can see the north coast of the Isle Of Wight! 😆

    I can see some kind of ridge that I’ve never been able to confidently identify, potentially wedlock edge, but I’m not sure.

    Also Birmingham city skyline on a clear day from the bottom of the cul de sac.

    Brum is easy to make out and is pretty much exactly 20 miles away in a straight line. Can’t make out any features on the ridge so it’s evidently ‘quite far’ away.

    Edit – also we can see the tops of the trees on Cannock chase from our bed, which is nice.

    I’ll join in this one for reasons that shall become obvious!

    From the front of the house – looking straight down onto the River Lochy, and sticking its head up above the riparian birch wood is the summit of Ben Nevis. Carn Mor Dearg and Aonach Mor are obscured by the big oak tree on the river bank, but to the right of the oak the long ridge of the Grey Corries is currently lit up by the evening sun. Looking right from the front of the house I can see the Caledonian Canal and ‘my’ Corbett Beinn Bhan. Druim Fada also in view.

    The east view is just sycamore at this time of the year but once the leaves are down there is an old stone arch bridge built by Thomas Telford with the Grey Corries above that.

    Out the back of the house is a view down Loch Lochy with Gairlochy basin close. The backdrop is the munros Meall na Teanga and Sron a Choire Ghairbh. I have a stand of mature Scots pine coming up to the back fence.

    I think I can narrow your house down to one or two Waderider – if I’m thinking of the right bridge.

    I can almost see RAF Menwith Hill (It’s the Yanks really) I can’t hear them but I bet they can hear me.
    Oh & the White Horse at Kilburn.

    And the top of knockhill, which overlooks the racing circuit.

    Pretty much the same view as OP, but chuck in St Andrews, the quarry at Balmullo and Leuchars/Tentsmuir as well. It’s not a bad view at times:

    And from the actual doorstep we’re regularly treated to sunsets like this:

    A’Chailleach one way, the Feshie hills the other. And a lot of sheep. Many, many sheep.

    Front door step- not sure much, a road and a hawthorn hedge.

    Back door step- fields and the Northern start of the Lake District.

    Utility door step- rolling fields, Solway coast and SW Scottish fells.

    Some nice sunsets from that side of the house too

    I can usually see my nudist neighbour. Sometimes she also has her daughter around too :-O

    This is the view from our last house – we moved out as the farmer that owned this field wouldn’t sell us a small patch of land to the side of our house. We now know why as there is now planning permission in for residential development. I would be gutted if I was the person that lives there now.

    Swizzels Matlow factory, the home of Love Hearts and other vile compressed powdered sugar tablets. The start of the road that heads out to The Fox and a bunch of local hills. And, if you can be arsed to walk for a minute, Kinder. And sheep obviously.

    On a clear day, I can see the Dent d’Oche and the Cornettes du Bise on the other side of Lac Léman. On a really clear day, Mont Blanc…:-)
