Landscapes usually, in my experience, work best with a smaller aperature, a lower iso and a much slower shutter speed. At 1/250, you don't need a tripod - I'm comfortable hand held with SR on at 1/20 and can get away with it on my MZS with care. And as Technoblurb said, use AP. Depth of field tends to be more important in landsacape photography.
I don't see anything in the subject that warrants an ND or PL. If you want to pick up more detail in the sky, give a grey grad a try. Then a tripod is worth using so you can get the alignment correct with the horizon.
I can see what you were after - bands of colour/texture moving up the frame. On this occasion, it's not quite worked out. But worth looking out for. The Cotswolds and the Wiltshire Downs offer lots of opportunities like this - often a case of luck being in the right place at the right time.
Hope this helps

Somewhere at the back of my mind
I quite like landscapes but usually with mountains, I find rolling hills a bit hard to comment on so I apologise if my comments put a damper on your image, they are purely offered in a constructive manner.
