Rewilded meadows, Banburyshire.
I walked through a succession of these rough, wild meadows on my walk between Brailes and Hooky. Still colourful and full of interest even this late in the season, they must have been stunning and full of wildlife earlier in the year.
The last time I took this footpath I don't remember so much rough growth so I think this has been carefully planned and sown to nurture wildlife and there are occasional signs asking walkers to keep their dogs on leads so as not to disturb the area and ground nesting birds.
I hope it's not a one off as I intend to return next spring/summer, especially now that I know I can walk between two rural bus routes through this very rural and unspoilt area.
Near the borders of Oxfordshire and Warwickshire.
