Dunton Field, located in Lincolnshire, England, is a vast and diverse landscape featuring a unique combination of downs and moorland. Spread over an area of approximately 500 acres, it offers a variety of natural habitats and stunning panoramic views.

The downs section of Dunton Field is characterized by gently rolling hills, covered in short grasses and wildflowers. This open grassland provides a perfect environment for grazing animals such as sheep and horses, which can often be spotted dotting the landscape. The downs also offer ample opportunities for recreational activities such as walking, picnicking, and birdwatching.

In contrast, the moorland area of Dunton Field boasts a more rugged and wild terrain. Here, visitors can explore vast stretches of heather-covered hills and marshy valleys. The moorland is home to a wide range of wildlife, including birds of prey, rabbits, and even the occasional deer. The area is also known for its unique flora, with species such as heather, bilberry, and cotton grass adding vibrant colors to the landscape.

Dunton Field is a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Its diverse ecosystems, coupled with its breathtaking scenery, make it an ideal location for those seeking to connect with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. Whether one chooses to explore the downs or venture into the untamed moorland, Dunton Field offers an unforgettable experience for all who visit.

Shire Drain, near Tydd St Giles This was a medieval drain which ran through the North Level into the Nene washes. It was also called Lady Nunne's Old Eau, after the wife of local nobleman. It was replaced, in 1828. by the much wider, deeper and straighter North Level Main Drain. In places, the Shire Drain is scarcely discernible, but here it is clear and still functioning, particularly after heavy late winter rains.
