Nature in Downland
Paperback
(Forgotten Books June 17, 2017)
Excerpt from Nature in Downland
Kingston Hill is not one of the dome-shaped downs, where when not on the very summit you are on a slope: the top forms a level plateau or table - land of considerable extent, covered with a thick turf and occasional patches of furze, with some bramble and elder bushes. After aimlessly wandering about over this high plain for some time I went to a spot where the hill sloped away toward the valley of the Ouse. Beyond the vast sweep of parched ground beneath me, green meadows and trees were visible, with scattered Village and farm houses, and the two small churches of Iford and Kingston vaguely seen in the haze.
