Wattle hurdles, willow fences, river restoration and hedge laying are country crafts which have been passed through five generations of Parsons and Sons based in Salisbury, Wiltshire
Hurdle making is the traditional rural craft of making woven fencing often out of hazel or willow withies. Hurdles have been used for many things over the years, from animal enclosures to the walls of houses using wattle and daub. The almost forgotten craft of hurdle making has been passed down from father to son in the Parsons family, ensuring that none of the techniques, secrets or pride in the craft have been lost.
