This seems an extreme way to fill a gap in a hedgerow. Why not just continue the fence or, better still, plant a couple of hawthorns and let nature finish the job? Even more curious, on the other side is a sign saying ‘Not a public footpath’. It conjures up Rene Magritte’s ‘The Treachery of Images’ with its caption Ceci n’est pas une pipe.
