I live and work in the North York Moors area



I'm a qualified hedgelayer and have laid hedges in Ireland, Holland and in the UK. I'm also a drystone waller and have built houses (and walls), garden features, gate entrances in Ireland, Australia and in England.

I've been told I'm a bit of walling and hedgelaying nerd. But I don't mind it because it's normal. Doesn't everyone stop and take pictures of these when they are on holiday?

Some of the site contains my work along with pictures of hedges, walls and walling features from places I've visited. It should be pretty obvious which is my work.

Grouse Butts


Often just piles of earth or wood barriers. Several estates on the North York Moors build these rather pleasing and functional grouse butts from drystone walls and the tops covered with turfs of heather.
These examples are south of Egton on the Stape road.
They are used so the gun and loader can stand in whilst the driven grouse fly past.
