Farmland near Buttercrambe Moor This is typical scenery for this part of the Vale of York.  The free-range pigs seemed happy with their lot.

I managed to access this private land by buying some fresh asparagus and strawberries from the Low Moor Farm shop (the produce was second to none and worth the detour!).  I asked the farmer for permission to take this photograph on land just east of the farm after explaining the purpose behind 'Geograph' and he duly obliged.  Thanks!
