English term or phrase: on the downs
A frase toda é essa:

‘A friend of mine asked me if I fancied going for a drink.
He’d just passed his driving test and was using his dad’s car.
We drove out to a pub on the downs – a quiet place with a
beer garden and views. It started to get overcast and there
was this terrific storm. Thunder, lightning – a real deluge. I
ran inside but still got completely soaked. I was back in my
bedroom by ten, maybe ten thirty – no later.

Obrigado!

nos Downs


Explanation:
Sugestão.

Pesquisei-a em português ("nos Downs"), em francês, "aux Downs", em espanhol ("en los Downs") e parece-me o termo habitual.

nas colinas


Explanation:
Pesquisei bastante sobre o tema. O termo down é derivado de uma palavra celta que significa hill.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downland

Assim, eu traduziria como colina, uma vez que em muitos sites é o termo utilizado para indicar esse acidente geográfico.

Example sentence(s):
  • "(...) outra povoação costeira com uma localização privilegiada, sobre uma colina (...)"
  • "As Seven Sisters também fazem parte do South Downs National Park, o mais novo parque nacional da Inglaterra, no qual campos de papoulas florescem em meio às colinas entre junho e agosto."
