moorland, its lakes, rivers and woods, and its long, often wild coastline. National parks which are protected
from development by the government have the most beautiful and picturesque scenery. British people often
associate the countryside with farmland, open spaces like fields of wheat and barley, green fields enclosed
by hedges or stone walls in which cows or sheep are raised. Most farmland is now owned by individual
people or independent companies. However, the government has built a network of public footpaths across
the farmland.
