The North and South Downs

The North and South Downs are two parallel ranges of low broad hills in England, covered with a light soil and with a valley between, called the Weald, that extend eastward from Hampshire to the sea-coast, the North terminating in Dover cliffs, Kent, and the South in Beachy Head, Sussex. The South is famous for the breed of sheep that pastures on them.
