Crop field north of Badger, Shropshire The reddish colour of the soil here reveals the presence of Triassic sandstone rock below the surface. The field appears to have been prepared to grow spring onions, or similar. The deep troughs are exactly the correct width for the tractor wheels, and the raised soil in between seems to have been prepared for five lines of onions (The earlier crop in the field to the north has six lines).

Badger Lane crosses behind the hedge and beyond that is the northern part of Riddens Coppice.
