Next GTP
I thought I still had an image ready but it turns out it was the one I just used. So, pinching JohnFilmer's idea.
Where is this? The road and field boundaries are still very similar today.
A place with an unusual name. Other clues to follow if nobody gets it straight away.

If I've got the right place, the location is:
Nat Grid: TR 37582 54334
Nearest Post Code: CT14 6QU
Co-ords (WGS84): 51°14'19"N,001°24'08"E or 51.2386857,1.4022532
Judging from the shadows it must have been very late morning!

Thanks Jackie Paper
The beach at Deal has got to be one of the steepest around.
I remember a family trip to Deal as a seaside treat. My visions of paddling were soon dashed when we saw how quickly the sea got deep. Fortunately, a trip to the Rotunda amusement park soon made up for the disappointment.
Next one up soon.

John Walker is correct.
Sandown Castle outlook point, Deal. There had been some big seas the previous night and the beach was piled up. Not sure how that lone camper in his tent enjoyed his night.

I'm thinking it's taken by the remains of Sandown Castle at the Thanet end of Deal?

You’d pass here if you sailed from Whitstable to Dungeness…

That's a steep beach! How about Dungeness?

OK then, I'll take that one, even though I'd reasoned myself out of it via anachronistic details. At least it wasn't a Tesla.
A quickie. Where were we taking a breather on our bikes here on a misty morning?
