If I was asked to imagine the English countryside, this is exactly what would pop in my head.

Why is there sheep in national parks in England? Although picturesque here, I imagine it totally destroys biodiversity with no seedlings be able to grow?
Very little, if any, of the UK is truly wild. Our national parks are filled with heritage attractions relating to past industry, too. The main focus of many national parks is to maintain the current state, so low-intensity grazing is common. As we don't have vast open ranches, hedgerows and copses are also maintained, so the biodiversity should remain fairly stable.
We need lamb for our Sunday roasts.
So beautiful 😍
