The landscape is typical of the county - open arable fields, hedgerows and small villages and hamlets that give it a quiet, agricultural character while remaining within easy reach of the city for commuters and services.
The area is best known for RAF Scampton, the historic airfield associated with the Dambusters raid and later the Red Arrows, which has long shaped the local economy, identity and events culture; recent years have seen discussions about its future and redevelopment.
