>>Ivy is a right royal pain ... we're busy ripping it out where it's growing in the garden as I'd rather avoid the damage to the old stone retaining walls.

I'd like to thank everyone for their input on ivy.  I am planning to train it up a tree trunk where I can contain it.  Ivy is often used in NY as a ground cover although this practice is not common.  It looks pretty on brick walls but I have always wondered about damage to the bricks from the roots.
