Today I rode out of town and rode on the footpaths towards Wimpole Hall. It hasn't rained in over a week so the trail was rideable, although it'd be tough if it was muddy. Rode between these hedgerows, having to duck a bit. Hedgerows are a very large part of the landscape here.

There are rules and regulations for them. Many species of birds live in them, along with little field animals. They have to maintained, like any fence line. We know what happens when hedgerows are not kept under control (MF roses!)
