Sharpenhoe Clappers, Bedfordshire

This is part of the Chiltern Hills supposedly 2000 years ago it was the site of an Iron Age Hill Fort, the name Clappers is derived from the Latin word 'claparius' which means rabbit hole. There were many of them all over there and the fur and meat were a large part of their economy at that time.

What a lovely area this is. I can imagine there must be a lot of birds and butterflies around here Lyn...maybe even a lizard or two in Summer. Very nice picture!
