The countryside of Britain is well known for its beauty and many contrasts: its bare mountains and moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline Many of the most beautiful areas are national parks and are protected from development When British people think of the countryside they
think of farmland, as well as open spaces They imagine cows or sheep in green fields enclosed by hedges
or stone walls, and fields of wheat and barley Most farmland is privately owned but is crossed by a network of public footpaths
Many people associate the countryside with peace and relaxation They spend their free time walking
or cycling there, or go to the country for a picnic or a pub lunch In summer people go to fruit farms and pick strawberries and other fruit Only a few people who live in the country work on farms Many commute
to work in towns Many others dream of living in the country, where they believe they would have a better
and healthier lifestyle

use of chemicals harmful to plants and wildlife Land is also needed for new houses The green belt, an area

is left in a box In spite of the disadvantages, many people who live in the country say that they like the safe, clean, attractive environment But their children often move to a town or city as soon as they can
