The grass on this slope was in the process of being cut by this remote controlled machine when I wandered past. The machine is a Robocut which is designed for tackling tough terrain and features a low centre of gravity making it an outstanding all-terrain mowing machine capable of mastering slopes up to 55 degrees while protecting the operator from any danger. The bottom half of the slope is a wildflower strip stretching for many hundreds of metres (see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7273045) along the edge of the promenade.
