This photograph is a good example of the "Drumlin" landscape of Co Down. The Drumlin Belt consists of tens of thousands of tightly-packed hillocks, called Drumlins, in a wide belt extending from county Down to Donegal Bay. They are poor agriculturally, and the hollows between them tend to become water-logged (although the lower rainfall in the east means that this is more of a problem in the west). People who come from the Drumlin regions tend to be used to being only able to see to the next hill and tend to own small farms.
