(In)famous grouse

Last week, I went up to Sheffield and stayed overnight with friends in the Peak District. We took a walk to the Strines Inn, on the edge of Sheffield for a pint of Yorkshire Pride.
Our walk took us over the grouse moors, and past a line of shooting butts, which had been made ready for clients to use over the next few weeks.

Who owns England has created an interactive map exploring who owns these upland landscapes.

The moors we walked on actually aren't featured on this map - they are just to the east of the mapped area, which belongs to the National Trust, and are owned by two individuals who own large amounts of land and will be familiar to local people.
