I've enjoyed the more dissonant or high-energy Canterbury music for a long time, but now I'm older I want to hear some of the quieter, pastoral, English-countryside-hedgehog type stuff.

Can anyone recommend something? I'm not a fan of Twee British Pop of that era, but I do enjoy Pink Floyd's Meddle LP.

I'm looking for not just happy sounds, but tiny, intimate, sunny-day sounds, if that makes any sense. 
Something to play when you walk around the park looking for mushrooms or lichens.

Thanks for reading!

The whole Caravan lp Land of Grey and Pink is wonderful as are  both Hatfield and the NOrth lps.

I would like to propose Supersister's mastermind Robert Jan Stips' album Retsis Repus–Supersister Projekt 2019. It's a sophisticated Canterbury jazz rock music that is simultaneously sunny and pastoral.
