hedge rows

Living rural fences

Hedgerows are dense lines of shrubs and small trees planted as boundaries between fields or properties.

Common in the English countryside, they serve as natural fences, windbreaks, and wildlife corridors.

The hedgerows were thick with blackberries in late summer.

The word is often written as one word: hedgerow.
