Dry stone walls are very much part of the agricultural landscape in several parts of the UK and the counties of Northumberland, Durham, North Yorkshire and Cumbria spring to mind.

There are few trees so stock proof hedging is a non-starter as is wooden fencing. The stone walls provide a degree of shelter from wind but they do require a fair degree of upkeep.

This is Stainmore in Cumbria, close to the borders of Durham and North Yorkshire.
