The challenge here is to find a place where the rail line points across flat (estuary / coastal) land towards mountains. The southern edge of the Lake District does seem likely but I can't find those mountain tops on Streetview so far.

Also, either the photographer was trespassing on the railway, or he was standing on a level crossing.

Maybe both
Probably not in Cornwall, doubt if there is much straight double-track there

I agree. I thought it was looking across to the 'old man' possibly from the crossing over to Dunnerholme above Askham.
Pointing the right way and a footpath ( the white stiles further along) crosses it further up.
Those electric poles are beating me unless they’ve been replaced with pylons since the picture?

Yes, nice tea room at the Hall. They own a couple of pubs and are really into the home produce.
