Hello Andy. It would need a lot of work and whoever took it on would have to be prepared to live quite a lonely life. With a vehicle, I suppose it's not remote, but there are no immediate neighbours. I agree about the wall. At first, I thought it was an interesting way of arranging fields. You could let your animals out from a narrow point by the farmhouse and let them wander into the wider bit. But peering more closely into the picture, I think they are fences to keep people and animals from falling down fissures and gullies in the landscape.
Hello Taken for Granted. It may be that - or it may be to do with the landowners who want the area for themselves. Access to the path I was on is only open to the public one day each year and the owners have a reputation for getting cross if anyone comes onto their land at other times.
Hello Susan. Have you read the book 'Wuthering Heights' by Emily Bronte? It reminds me of the farm and landscape in that. (And the Bronte family lived only eight miles from here so it's not an impossible association.)

The farm house needs some TLC.
PS: The wall grab my attention.
A fine rural scene with an empty farm house. It is symbolic of the migration of people from rural to urban where their lives are better.
How different it looks from U. S. farmhouses. Thanks for sharing this idyllic scene, but it was a loss for someone.
Beautiful composition Lucy!

Hello Walter. Thank you. I'm so grateful to my camera that I'm able to visit somewhere once, then visit it again and again through the photographs.
