Farmland near Meriden. The village cross at Meriden marks the centre of England.
Meriden was the birthplace of Lady Godiva, who founded the first church at Meriden. The tower of Meriden Church is just visible near the centre of the picture. |

The wheat harvest in August.
A combine harvestor and grain trucks at work in small fields, amid oak trees, on a farm at Burton Green, near Meriden and Berkswell. |
| The Warwickshire landscape is closely connected with farming. And when you see scenes like the ones above you begin to wonder how these farmers are expected to compete with farmers in other countries, operating in less rich environments, and using less eco-friendly methods of production. |
 | Another farm, also at Burton Green, here gathering silage (dried grass to feed to animals during Winter). |
 |
An old oak framing farmland, and a church on a hill.
The farmland here is hay, recently baled. The church on the hill is Lapworth Church. |
 | Row of oak trees in grazing pasture on a farm near Berkswell. |

This is a view of the River Avon from Copdock Hill.
There are small fields of grazing pasture on either bank of the river. There are cattle in the field on the nearside bank, and sheep on the farside bank. |
