Made in the UK and created in Cornwall, our Cornish Hedge Tea Towel features beautiful illustrations by James Innerdale.
There are four types of Cornish Hedge featured from across the protected landscape.
- Granite: This is the regional style for Bodmin Moor, Section 12 Cornwall National Landscape. This Cornish Hedge style includes goose holes
- Slate: Jack ‘n’ Jill or Kersey Way style taken from Section 02 Pentire Point to Widemouth
- Granite Large grounders: This style is featured in Section 12 Bodmin Moor and Section 07 West Penwith
- Slate Pitched: This style is featured in Section 09 South Coast Central and found particularly on the Roseland Peninsula
The earliest Cornish Hedges are understood to be over 4,000 years old, making them one of the oldest human-made structures still used for their original purpose. They are as old as the Egyptian pyramids. They are neither a hedgerow or a dry stone wall, they are uniquely different and only found in Cornwall.
