Sustainable Crediton - Cleft Gate Hurdlemaking Course
http://sustainablecrediton.org.uk/hedge/trees/cleft-gate-hurdlemaking.aspx
Cleft Gate Hurdlemaking Course. Devon Rural Skills Trust. Is a charitable organisation formed to stop the disappearance of traditional rural skills in Devon. They run courses (mostly on Saturdays) throughout the year. I attended a cleft gate hurdle making course at the Parke Estate just outside Bovey Tracey. Working in the woods with traditional tools and rigs our aim was to turn ash thinnings into hurdles. Keep cleaving until you have the size of timber that you need. Are also open to non-members.
