Google Earth has spotted a hidden message on farmland outside of Bristol which can be seen from space.

Ten miles away from Bristol, in a village called Nettleton, lies a farm which hides a rude, but down-to-the-point message.

It is not known why the message sits on the farmland, or even if it was made by a farmer himself.

The topography of the land means it is difficult to see the message from the ground - so it is almost certainly intended to be viewed from above.

According to Bristol Post, it could be a message to balloonists as the farmland sits across the flight path for balloon rides out of Bristol.

Or it could merely be a quiet joke aimed purely at Google Earth's satellites.
