Sheep grazing near Colesbourne Today much of the Cotswolds is arable, here the land is used for the traditional use of sheep grazing. In Medieval times wool was a major export and the churches and manor houses of the Cotswolds reflect the wealth the wool trade created.

Scots pines on the White Way This is the White Way, a minor Roman road from Cirencester to Chedworth villa.  Yes, apparently even the Romans had "B" roads.  The pines are an interest in an otherwise very flat landscape.

Green Meadow Farm The name is fairly apt, but it is a wheat field not a meadow.  Looking north west from the minor road between Rendcomb and the White Way.  At the trees the land falls away rapidly into a minor north-south valley.

Standing on the line The Two Degrees West line at this point is rather uninspiring.  Looking towards Penhill Plantation which covers most of the western half of the square.
