This continuing series of posts depicts our beautiful world, encouraging people to share them and maybe even help save our unique home planet from human carelessness and indifference.

Today’s photo was taken at the edge of the small market town of Driffield in East Yorkshire. It shows Cadger Lane, in existence certainly since 1642, and probably a lot longer, now part of a public footpath linking the larger town with the smaller settlement of Little Driffield, a route we used to walk regularly when we lived in the area.

A Cadger was an agent for the Mills, and this lane led from the place where the mills were sited out to Elmswell and Garton on the Yorkshire Wolds, a rural area of quietly beautiful land much neglected by many walkers. It was almost certainly also used as a drovers’ lane to walk livestock from farms to the markets.

The countryside here is quite flat, but there are some low, rolling hills. Much of the land is used for growing crops and grazing sheep and cattle. It makes for pleasant walks in peace and tranquillity much of the time.
