A wide flat field is "finer" than rugged terrain for it can be tilled easily to produce wheat and so represents good white bread. A small thatched cottage, which a modern viewer might consider pretty, will be considered unattractive by an Elizabethan traveler, for cottagers are generally poor and able to offer little in the way of hospitality. Ranges of hills and mountains are obstacles to Elizabethan travelers and very far from picturesque features, you go out of your way to see.

By reading the description of the Elizabethan Landscape or what it would be easily described as such by modern view, it is implicit that the ranges of hills and mountains are not part of what the landscape of an Elizabethan traveler would focus on, they mention the wonders of the land for being productive as well as the marvelous constructions of the rich.
