I can see where you folks are going with this and it certainly looks like you're on the right track.
I did some Googling on your suggestions and this illustration of
C.macnabiana is the closest I've found to my pic so far. See:
Cupressus Conservation Project
I'm not suggesting it's from that particular species, just confirming that a similar looking Cypress cone exists.
On the down side the photo was taken in a part of Stockgrove Country Park (across the road from the car park) where there are few tree species other than the three I mentioned (although I seem to recall seeing a few Norwegian Spruce). However....there is an area within a couple of hundred yards or so where they sell Christmas trees in December.
