I had an uplifting drive out to Sunk Island today. A vast flat area reclaimed from the River Humber since the 17th Century and covering some 7500 acres. The agricultural land is crossed by single track roads and from Ottringham to Brick Lane there is a fantastic straight section flanked by trees, must be 2 miles long, and with a distant arched greensward canopy which gives a feeling of heading towards infinity.
