Awide flat field is "finer” than rugged terrain for it can be tilled easily to produce wheat and so represents good white bread. a small thatched cottage, which a modern viewer might consider pretty, will be considered unattractive by an elizabethan traveler, for cottagers are generally poor and able to offer little in the way of hospitality. ranges of hills and mountains are obstacles to elizabethan travelers and very far from picturesque features you go out of your way to see.
