Further to "Trees in the Pastures", below, this is a clearer view of the Seven Trees. In winter they stand so elegant that it seems churlish to wish they were a genuinely native species like oak or scots pine. But sheep scoured landscape can be so bleak that we must be grateful that anything has survived.
To the west is the big amphitheatre that also gives cause for reservation. It could be so much more:again a bit more wilding would help. More trees, some gorse perhaps, but to my way of thinking there's just too much influence of grazing.
