pastoral scenery
Bucolic country views
Pastoral scenery is landscape that evokes the peaceful, idealized countryside—rolling meadows, grazing sheep, quiet streams, rustic cottages.
The term carries connotations of simplicity and tranquility, often romanticized: We drove through pastoral scenery on our way to the coast.
It suggests the opposite of industrial or urban landscapes.
