"This is the land of Stonehenge, Avebury, Arbor Low and Castlerigg, of Boudicca, the Battersea Shield and druids, the Lindisfarne gospels and Sutton Hoo."

Unfortunately, it will soon be the land of housing estates - as far as the eye can see. We're told that there's a shortage of houses (that's probably partly true) but I suspect that all the main political parties are pushing for build, build, build on every square inch because, at present, their 'masters' - the developers and speculators can't satisfy their insatiable, planet-consuming greed fast enough.
