The rich arable soil is evident here.

This piece of machinery a Standen potato harvester. The folded arrangement on the side is an elevator for loading trailers as the unit moves down the field. It is tractor towed. Thanks to Michael Trolove Link for identification and explanation.

When I first saw it, I thought it might be like a Swiss Army Knife and do lots of other things as well. It has been parked here for a while; notice how the field has been ploughed around it.
Shakespeare's Way

Shakespeare's Way is a 146 mile long distance footpath from Shakespeare's birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon to the Globe theatre in London. It follows as nearly as possible a route that Shakespeare may have taken between the two, but using footpaths, quiet lanes and towpaths, rather than his tracks, which are today's main roads.
