• The hills you see to the right were created in the ice age. Sheep roam there now. You may just be able to catch sight of them on a clear day. Each year they are shorn which helps them stay cool in the summer months and provides an income for the local farmer who sells the wool to make clothes.
  
  
• This route is part of an ancient roman road which was used by Caesar and his troops as they travelled north conquering Britain. You can hear the tromp-tromp of the soldiers as they march past and the clang of their swords against their shields as they walk.
  
  
• The lake in the distance is home to several different species of water birds. Listen to the bird sounds on the Pod Walk, with the bird name spoken, then match these sounds with what you can hear.
  
  
• The farms around here are mostly arable. They grow wheat in the summer and barley in the winter. The overgrown fields you see are set-aside
