South Sweden to north London: Eidevall's story

Some 65 kilometres inland on the southern tip of Sweden sits Hoor, a small town of around 15,000 inhabitants.

It's a quiet area, and the prevailing silence is broken only a handful of times a day when large commuter trains transport workers from Kristiansand, one of the region's big cities, to Copenhagen, in the neighbouring Denmark.

Hoor's central square hosts a number of Scandinavian restaurants and cafes, while there are also several hiking trails and lakes to provide tourists with more scenic views of the surrounding area.

But while visitors may flock to the outskirts, the main attraction for locals is situated to the west of the town, protected on all sides by dense forest: a football pitch known as the Svanvallen.
