I know of a ROW that goes through someones garden and at times have geese roaming . The problem is the geese can escape over the top of the stiles , so when they are occupy the garden , the owner drops branches across the tops of the stiles.
The last time I walked through it the owner asked if I would kindly place the branches back in place once I had climbed over . He was tending to his runner beans .
Sorry not trying to derail this thread ..but gardens were mentioned more than once & I happen to admire the owners garden .
