farm and fields in north devon landscape near clovelly

Umberleigh

Farm building near Accott. Sunlight highlights rows of stubble on this plateau-like area immediately north of 618866. But appearances are deceptive; two deep valleys, the first of them the valley of the River Venn, lie between the corrugated iron barn and the buildings at Middle Stoodleigh, which are in SS6532. The line of sight cuts across the view in the background of 621242, in which the valleys are clearly seen.
