Can't understand what all the fuss is about-there's no such thing as a natural hedge
Yes , it was a govt directive , https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-hccc-worldhistory2/chapter/the-enclosure-act/
That is what I love about France, at least from the motorcycling viewpoint...
Get off the ferry in Caen or St Malo*, and head South, every hour the scenery, landscape and farming change. As a Farmer and a bit of closet geology type, it is superb. The description of France being like a "mini-continent", has some validity.
*I try to avoid the misery of Calais.
Mind, I have found a reasonable bike route in and out, these days.

Actually, if I am going full-on girly route, it's a schlep from Pompey to Santander to the fun that is the Pyrenees
However, I enjoy a slow tootle South with an overnighter in Premeierclasse As for Dover, 'king motorway all the way home to civilization.
Pompey or Poole is a scoot across the Cotswolds, and if it's an overnighter, then a lovely ride as the sun comes up.Dover to home is the worst bit , does your head in .Actually, if I am going full-on girly route, it's a schlep from Pompey to Santander ro the fun that is the Pyrenees

Every time... About the only trip I have ever put the earbuds in, and listened to music on the bike!

I think you mean vocabulary. (Sorry couldn't help it and no- one likes a smart arse.)
I think you are getting confused with the areas described and in the pictures above, which were being discussed, and other parts of France.

I think you will find that all the hedges were cut down and burnt by some Brit called Tommy Atkins.
Either him or Richard Sharpe.
Toujours les rosbifs!
