| Since the project lead by Andy Goldsworthy, 1996-2003, people have become more aware
that these stone wall enclosures are a fascinating element in the landscape of Westmorland,
Cumberland, etc. |
||||
| But there are more than just the famous Goldsworthy sheepfolds to be seen. Sheepfolds
are still used, and still being built in a variety of materials; junk found in the
farm yard and or barns, timber, fencing, or whatever, specially bought for the job,
... Sheepfolds are practical, but might be shipshape or slipshod in their construction.
Some of the new folds are attractively and expertly built. |
