Dry valleys in Faccombe, Hampshire Young crops add a tinge of green to the fields here. The snaking valley coming down (westwards) towards the viewer seems to be what was once a tributary to a river, which runs left to right (southwards), below the trees in the foreground. The contours on the O.S. map make this very clear.
