Denbury Green Lane

On the OS map this is shown as a fenced track, but the reality is perhaps something different from what is envisaged. This is a rough track down from Denbury Hill (150m) and is set between high, typical Devon banks so that there is excellent protection from wind and weather.

The person in the middle distance is there to give some idea of the height of the banks plus the hedge or other vegetation on the top.

There are some 53,000 km (33,000 miles) of hedges in Devon and many are set on the top of these typical earth banks. The often provide a continuous network for the migration of wild life and as a site for all sorts of plants and trees.
