Is it the White Lion or the Red Lion?
July 2013
My journey to work through the leafy lanes of Gaddesden always provides some points of interest. Last month I spotted two men planting hundreds of saplings in the hedgerows. John and Nathan of JHP Services told me they had been contracted by the Gaddesden Estate to fill in the gaps in the hedgerows with some 4000 hawthorn, hazel, holly, dog rose and dogwood.
It’s part of a Government-subsidised scheme to revive a quintessential feature of the English countryside.
