PLACES IN THE COUNTRYSIDE, PREPOSITIONS OF PLACE

In the summer, I went camping. It was a very pretty campsite there was a lake (1) in the middle

of it, and you could walk across a little bridge to an island (2) in the middle. Thats where we had

our picnics. To the west of the campsite there was a canal (3) we went boating on it and to the

east there was a farm (4). The farmers were really friendly, and we bought fresh eggs and milk

from them every day. Beyond the farm there was a steep hill (5). It was hard work climbing up it,

but it was worth it because at the top there were the ruins (6) of an old castle. The view from the

top was amazing! We also walked into the local village (7) called Rogginton, which was about 2 km

south of the campsite. It was small but had everything we needed food, drink and a tea room!
