The South Downs - photo impressions

[British Red]

A guy in the US was asking waht its like on the South Downs so I put together a "sketch" from my photos. I thoughts someone might enjoy it here and perhaps it explains why I bleat on so much about how beautiful this part of Wessex is

Beautiful BR

For some reason I always associate the Downs with poor land, sheep grazed to millimetres and small towns rich on the wool trade. Your post was an excellent way of showing the real variety and beauty of the area.

cheers,

If you are get down here gents (or you of course Mary) it would be my privelege to show you round - there are lots of interesting nooks - from the aprrow hawk who nests in that ruined tower to the skylarks that nest on the bronze age hill fort there.

I have lived in most parts of the UK and I have to say the Downs hold a special place in my heart - they really are gorgeous!
