More about this scene

This village green looks very overgrown. We are in the centre of the linear village of Long Preston, which is bisected by the busy A65 Skipton to Kirkby Lonsdale road. Long Preston was once a larger settlement than Leeds, but now it is a peaceful backwater disturbed only by the constant traffic on the A65.
