What is recorded here

Yew hedge and woodland at Chirk Castle Garden is a castle, fort or tower in Wrexham, Wales. Perhaps the hedge grows so thick it swallows the castle wall, forcing visitors to feel rather than see the boundary. Maybe the yew drops its needles on stone steps, marking time without a clock. Imagine a guardian hidden inside the green wall, waiting for someone bold enough to walk through.
