Chesham Moor is a low lying area of flat grassland between two branches of the River Chess. The hot dry weather of Summer 2018 has got the grass looking almost as brown as this rusty goal post.

This board is one of ten on Chesham Moor with photographs by Matt Writtle. It has the following wording: THE RIVER MEADOW AT THE PILE OF STONES. THE CHESS VALLEY As the River Chess bids farewell to Chesham, it flows through the picturesque Chess Valley towards the site of a Roman Villa now known as Latimer Park. As well as a hotel, fisheries, charities and small businesses, the land is farmed for wheat and barley and livestock. Once the sheep have weaned their lambs, they spend three months, from August to October, grazing on the river meadow next to the Chess, gorging on the rich variety of grasses and wildflower. This restores the sheep's health and condition more speedily than traditional pastures, in preparation for the mating season in November. At the same time the sheep tread the seeds from the flowering plants into the earth to help the germination process, whose benefits are reaped the following spring by pollinating insects, birds, mammals and the wider ecology.
