heathland

Where it comes from

From heath + land. Compare Saterland Frisian Heedelound (“heathland”).

noun heathlands

countable, uncountable A tract of scrubland habitats characterised by open, low growing woody vegetation, found on mainly infertile acidic soils. Similar to moorland but with warmer and drier climate. Beyond the latter station—reached after traversing the only level mile of track between East Suffolk Junction and Beccles—a stiffish climb leads across heathland to Wickham Market Station, which is actually at Campsea Ashe, 1½ miles from the town of Wickham Market.
