  It’s not the distance that’ll damage the hedge … it’s the root disturbance … you would need to cut it very hard back to give it a chance of surviving … 
  
  … so I would do as @Fairygirl suggested and plant a new hedge this coming winter …. but in addition to that, what about a ‘window’ through the existing hedge to open up and frame the view to the fields beyond ? 

  
  

  Take a look here https://eastrustonoldvicarage.co.uk/gardens/winter-garden-and-lighthouse … I’ve been to that garden several times and it is a wonderful effect 😊 I look forward to seeing it every time I go …
