We like to stop for a picnic overlooking this Iron Age hill fort at Old Winchester Hill.

In the UK, there are many public footpaths and some of them are across fields.

Here was one through a wheat field I really enjoyed. The view is from ankle height.

Apparently home to a variety of interesting fossils including extinct species of elephant and rhinoceros. The local crab is good and well known in the region. Presumably the boat is picking up crab pots.

This perfect oak tree was a stop on our daily walk during our last year in Switzerland. I believe the pre-alpine mountain in the background is Les Voirons. One of my Swiss friends might be able to correct me

The beach at Aldeburgh reminds me of a Hayao Miyazaki film scene. Working fishing boats litter the beach. You walk past a lifeboat station but the North sea is calm today. WE SMOKE FISH announces a painted sign on a hut on the beach offering freshly caught and smoked seafood.
