Part of the landscape........


These hedges have been allowed to grow up and mature. Typically, those alongside roads are cut back on an annual basis on safety grounds, to maintain lines of vision. These mature hedges are an excellent source of firewood, and shelter for animals, as well as providing stock-proof boundaries, defining field and ownership boundaries, and providing a whole host of food supplies for birds and other animals.
