Topic:What is the characteristic of Britain's landscape that goes with variety?
With variety goes surprise. Ours is the country of happy surprises. You have never to travel long without being pleasantly astonished . It would not be difficult to compile a list of such surprises that would fill the next fifty pages ,but I will content myself with suggesting the first few that occur to me. If you go down into the West Country, among rounded hills and soft pastures, you suddenly arrive at the bleak tablelands as if the North had left a piece of itself down there. But before you have reached them you have already been surprised by the queer bit of marshland, as if a former inhabitant had been sent to Cambridge and had brought his favourite marshland walk back from college with him into the West.
