Bucolic relates to the pleasant aspects of the countryside and country life. The church, if there were one in the picture below would be lovely for its bucolic setting. Needless to say, the photograph shows clearly how beautiful the county of Surrey can be with its enchanting scenery!
I was fortunate to have been born and raised in Surrey, England because on one side there were developments and on the other, countryside villages and rural areas that were great for hiking, as well as to slip away into tranquility and to experience a more peaceful setting to spend my spare time.
Surrey is famous for its leafy countryside with its rolling hills and scenic viewpoints just perfect for walking and cycling. I used to spend weekends riding my motorcycle all over the countryside. You should go and enjoy its scenic landscapes and wonderful attractions. There are a mix of parks, museums, sports and arts, and family fun activities.
Surrey is officially England’s most densely-wooded county, with more than one-fifth of its land area covered by trees. Featured in a whole host of blockbuster movies, you may well have spotted Surrey in Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Holiday and the James Bond film Skyfall, among others.
There are beautiful parks and lakes, and though Surrey is landlocked it is touching West Sussex and East Sussex County which both have plenty of beach locations such as Brighton, Hastings, and Rye.
Have a great day!
