I hate hedges. Selfishly. It is great for animals and birds, probably good for farmers, but suck for people. I live in South England, in Hampshire, in the South Downs, which is full of undulated countryside full of fields with hedges. It is pretty. But also I never see any of it as the massive overgrown hedges blocks all views. And make it unnecessarily dark. I might as well live in a city or suburbia. Apart from in the winters when the leaves are gone it is bearable. I have lived in other countries with none to minor fences by paths and roads. And I have also lived further north in England, in the Peak District, which use more stone/rock walls which are not that high. A drive or even better a bike ride is then wonderful. And not dangerous as you can can see when a car comes the other way round a sharp corner.
