Montacute House Gardens famous wibble wobbly hedge. During the harsh winter of 1947, heavy snow remained for weeks, if not months, causing the flat tops of the hedges to collapse under the weight.This often happens but the snow usually disappears quickly and the hedges bounce back to their original shape.
