Low Field is a picturesque village located in the county of Yorkshire, England. Nestled amidst rolling hills and surrounded by lush green countryside, it is a quintessential rural retreat. The village is situated approximately 10 miles southwest of the bustling town of Harrogate.

Despite its small size, Low Field boasts a close-knit and friendly community. The village is characterized by its charming stone cottages, which line the narrow streets. The local church, St. Mary's, is a prominent landmark that dates back several centuries and adds to the village's historic appeal.

Agriculture plays a significant role in the local economy, with many residents engaged in farming activities. The fertile soil and favorable climate of the area make it ideal for cultivating crops and rearing livestock. The village is known for its locally produced dairy products and fresh organic produce.

Low Field is also a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The surrounding countryside offers ample opportunities for hiking, cycling, and horseback riding, with scenic trails that meander through fields, woodlands, and along the River Nidd. There are several well-maintained public footpaths, providing access to the stunning Yorkshire Dales National Park, located just a short drive away.

The village is well-served by a local primary school, village hall, and a small convenience store that caters to the everyday needs of residents. Additionally, the nearby town of Harrogate offers a wider range of amenities and services, including shopping centers, restaurants, and entertainment venues.

Low Field truly embodies the idyllic charm of rural Yorkshire, offering a tranquil and peaceful setting for those seeking a slower-paced lifestyle amidst the beauty of the countryside.

Suburban squirrel, Hull One of the many well-fed grey squirrels which thrive in the back gardens of the area, thanks in part to the number of residents who keep their bird feeders well-stocked and easily-raided.

Hull hedgehog Although hedgehogs are usually nocturnal or crepuscular, and those seen during the day are said often to be sick, this one appeared alert and active. Presumably, the relatively mild weather had encouraged it out of hibernation. 

My purely anecdotal observation is that local hedgehog sightings in domestic gardens are more frequent in recent years than in the previous couple of decades, when the formerly common animals seemed to disappear completely. This is borne out by recent research (BBC news report: <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-60436607" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-60436607">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> ).

The £23m building was opened in 2017 by the company, which mainly makes substitution products to treat opioid addiction. Indivior was established as a division of the Hull-founded and based Reckitt (then Reckitt Benckiser) in 1994. In 2014, it was spun off as a separate concern.

Refurbished aviary, Hull Although not due to re-open until later in 2022, porcupines, tortoises, grey parrots and other birds have already moved into the restored aviary in Pickering Park.

When it opens, it will also feature meerkats.

It has been closed since 2016 when the displays and buildings became badly neglected and rat-infested. The remaining birds were moved to the city's East Park.
