The air here carries the clean, sharp scent of pasture and damp earth, particularly after a rain, and the quietude is broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the lowing of cattle, sounds that seem to deepen the sense of spaciousness. The light, especially in the late afternoon, can be extraordinary, casting long, softened shadows and bathing the landscape in a warm, honeyed glow that seems to linger, imbuing even the most ordinary vista with a touch of the sublime.
