Limestone pasture, Bourton On the Corvedale side of the double ridge behind Wenlock Edge. The Silurian limestones form land like chalk downs, a steep scarp with a long dip which carries seasonal watercourses. The stream here was not flowing above ground at this time. This was a dry year in these parts.
