The Range Rovers' Graveyard? Rather like the mythical Elephants' Graveyard, except that this one does exist. There were 4 full-blown Range Rovers, a classic Landrover Defender, a shonky caravan and (just out of shot) a VW Golf. All tucked into the corner of this field, and all beginning to deteriorate somewhat.
