LEA/LEY: Chambers and the OED list three words with these (and other) spellings. The first is the meadow that you mention, and the second is arable land; the quote “The lowing herd winds slowly o’er the lea” more likely uses the first.

Now that’s off my chest: I actually found this mostly enjoyable and a touch easier than previous from the same setter.
