Phil, my house is in a very exposed position at the top of a hill and
my nearest neighbours are at least 500 metres away.

I didn't think you had hills in E Anglia? :-p

My garden is protected on the North side by a fence, trees and a steep
embankment, I'm effectively in a hole facing South!

Part of your hole must face North--think positive. What about your hole West
and East elevations :-)
