Walk Around Matley 10

Matley's Hedgerows
Photobucket
Most of the hedgerows around Matley seem to be made up of Holly, Hawthorn, Oak, and Elder. All these trees work well as a way of keeping stock in the fields.. and each tree would also have been useful to the farmer...

This was a new footpath for me, and I was pleased with this avenue of tree.... it was dark and muddy but a very interesting pathway. At one time a track of some sort had been here... I had past by a small quarry dug out of the hillside and now overgrown. As there's a number of cottages at the end of this track in seem a far guess the stone for the cottages came from there.
A few more picture yet to show you from around here, so join me again tomorrow and I'll show you an interesting and smelly find.

Tom: There sure is a lot of grenery in these photos.
Love your header with the Land Rover going through the water.

Smelly? Sounds interesting. The path is great. I saw some holly yesterday and I didn't know what it was till now.

I look forward to the smelly find. :)

a great place to go for a walk. I like the green, especially that I a little bit upset that autumn comes...
