Road with canopy! The small lanes around Waen often dip into little gulleys - quite steeply - and are completely covered by the growth of the hedgerows.

Harvested forest Harvested woodland must be the bleakest scenery ever! It looks a complete mess, but the debris is an important habitat for wildlife. We often forget about trees as a cash-crop, but forestry is a massive industry. This has already been replanted and will look entirely different in 10 years' time. In twenty-five, or so, it will be back to this!
