Early autumn colours in Rough Standhills 2

Early autumn colours in a clearing in Rough Standhills.

Rough Standhills is a largely coniferous plantation, mostly Sitka spruce, on the south side of the Limb Valley in south west Sheffield. There are occasional open clearings and rides in the otherwise densely planted trees, where bracken, bramble, and broad-leaved trees such as beech, birch and oak have taken hold.
