HI All,

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, if so sorry.

Someone has added the land around large country houses in East Yorkshire 
as leisure=park. The grounds are what I might describe as parkland, 
private space around the house (though it may be open to the paying 
public such as around Sledmere House) and often it is grazing for sheep, 
sometimes cattle or even deer. I think it is possibly farmland (pasture) 
but it is somewhat different with a number of individual trees in the 
space, probably to enhance the view from the house. It is not what I 
would describe as a park, but the mapper probably took the name (e.g. 
Dalton Park) as the clue.

Does anyone have a better tagging scheme than farmland?

cheers
Chris Hill (chillly)
