Head north of Cambridge and the farmland is flat, flat, flat. Huge fields are the order of the day with no boundaries other than ditches and discarded farm machinery, and only the odd row of poplars to tease a Northerly wind. You pass the occasional bungalow with mandatory Rottweiller and that's it. I'm afraid I come away from a walk around here feeling a bit depressed. Sorry for the boring pic but that's all there is to see!
@bpaquette This lot have been pollarded Barbara - the trunks have been chopped off half way up. There were lots of lines of poplars around there and the others weren't pollarded. There is an orchard on the other side - I presume these are there as a wind break.
Doesn't look too bad to me... tho know what you mean about flat landscapes... same here in the part of Essex where I live.. I work near Poplar in East London which was apparently so named cos of the amount of trees planted as wind breaks when the docks were first built...
This looks good dog walking country & this is a lovely green path towards those poplars...rather French looking I think ! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder & this is lovely in a sparse sort of way !
@happypat Actually we were saying it has a French look. But not as lovely as a rolling hill with cows and a decent hedge - or sheep and a nice stone wall. I was thinking about what you said about arable farmers and hedges - and pursing my lips because their idea of a boundary is a rusty old beet harvester and a couple of empty barrels - slovenly in my book!!!!
Its flat as a pancake here too, the reason why this years rainy season has managed to flood 3/4 of the countries provinces. Its funny when we go on holiday I often look for a cooler climate and a more rugged terrain.
The little house makes a perfect full stop to the path.
