Another location courtesy of Malcolm Ranieri's book of Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway photographs, this location is found south of the village of Bishops Cleeve, and is accessible from Cheltenham Racecourse station via a public footpath.  I scouted this out at the steam gala, and returned here for the diesel one two months later.

However in this instance, I think I was too late in the day for the location to be really effective, and the lineside vegetation (a problem that plagued this session) blocked a lot of the angles.   I think this location works better mid-to late morning.
