This little plantation of what appear to be birch i think, is an area of the hillside i used to drive/walk or cycle past almost everyday and until Sunday night I had never ventured in and explored the place. Its a very strange landscape, seems completely pointless to have an orchard to effect of these trees. They are not of much use commercially, maybe the landowner just likes them.
Either way i found it quite surreal to have this collection of trees right by a main road, and up the hillside for no apparent reason. I think il go back in a few months time and see what changes the winter brings to this manmade landscape, it may even be maintained for a reason unknown to me. Il try and find the farmer next time as it proved unsuccessful this time.

Man I love that camera :)
That place looks fun! I was up at Portaferry the other night for the craic, in the middle of the night...some great spots just out past portaferry, abandoned houses and that.
