That's a bit of a sweeping statement! It's not my experience along the A65 and into the Yorkshire Dales. The verges are lovely - this year is particularly good for Melancholy Thistle (which, before people react to the t-word, is not a noxious weed and very different from its cousins creeping, spear and marsh thistle).
