Dark Hedges Disaster

[Mountains&Waves]

Do any of you struggle with poor decision making at your local beauty-spots?

The Dark Hedges in Northern Ireland is a perfect example of a disjointed approach to managing a popular beauty spot. A short blog article for those who love the landscape around them.

They will probably paint double yellow lines next to prevent people stopping to take photos

Stephen I totally agree with your disjointed approach statement. We are quite happy to take what ever financial benefits we can from the popularity of our beauty spots, but reluctant to use some of that money to invest in measures to protect it. I am not sure of this location as I haven't been there before, but if it were considered so important, perhaps a bypass or restrictions on traffic would be useful.

However, as an aside, like other tree lined roads built around the countryside, you could find that due to poor ground, the trees were planted at the time the road was constructed as foundations for the road.
