The grass, trees and the road all appear to be within the Crow Trees Nature Reserve, close to the village of Quarrington Hill. The reserve is important for its magnesian limestone grassland. The surrounding area has been extensively quarried and mined in the past and extraction continues at Tarmac's Quarrington Quarry to the north of the reserve.
