Round here (Cumbria), that would have sheep on it. When I did school
geography, it was called Rough Pasture.

I'm happy to use "farmland" to mean cultivated land, whether for cash
crops, pasture for livestock, haymaking, any farming activity.
But I keep finding myself on land for which none of the available tags
really seem to apply. There seems to be one missing. For example:

Beyond the hedge is clearly farmland. But I don't think any of
farmland/grassland/scrub/meadow properly describes the foreground
area. I believe the technical term is "unimproved grassland" but I
would most likely call it "hillside". Here is some more of it:

Is it perhaps "heath"? That usually means an open level area of
"heather", on acidic sandy soil. The wiki says: "don't use heath for
areas primarily covered by non-woody plants like grasses - use
natural=grassland or landuse=meadow instead".
cheers,
Martin.
