The term PLACE FOR GRAZING can be broken down into two crossword solutions: LEA (3 letters) and PASTURE (8 letters). A LEA is an open area of grassland, usually found in the countryside. It is a traditional form of land used for grazing animals such as sheep and cattle. A PASTURE is a field or piece of land covered with grass and other vegetation, used for grazing animals. Pastures are often enclosed by fences and hedges to keep the animals from straying. Both leas and pastures provide a place for animals to graze and feed.
