About Hedgerow Almanac

Who this site is for

Hedgerow Almanac is an independent information site about rural life in the United Kingdom. It is written for readers who want plain explanations of how the countryside works: where you may walk, how farms and hedges fit together, which customs villages keep and how conservation projects approach the land.

What it covers

The guides cover public rights of way, the Countryside Code, farming, hedgerows and field boundaries, village traditions and rewilding. Each page stays general and explanatory. The site takes no position in political debates, does not campaign and does not recommend how anyone should vote or act.

How facts are handled

Guides are based on widely available public information and official guidance. Where rules differ between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, or where practice varies by region, the text says so. Rules and statistics change, so check official sources before relying on a detail.

This site is not affiliated with any political party, charity, landowner body, farming organisation or public authority mentioned or linked. Links to official guidance are provided as references only.
