A Stray Field in South London

An ordinary looking grassy field, at the foot of Gipsy Hill in South London, turns out to be anything but…

The Road to One Tree Hill: Part 2

Often its an image, or sense, of the physical presence of a place that draws me to it, but in the case of One Tree Hill, it was the name that attracted me.

A name that seemed so impossibly resonant that I had to see for myself whether the actual hill could ever live up to it.

The road to One Tree Hill: Part 1

Some places just sound better than others. Whatever they may actually be like on the ground, there are places with names that seem to possess an inherent resonance and romance.

Others however, just sound a bit crap.
