The others are right - nothing to stop you putting up a fence inside your own boundary - as long as you don't attach to your neighbour's fence for support.
Personally I'd put up a trellis - and train honeysuckle, clematis or wisteria along it. In a few years she will be completely blocked out.
Whatever you do, don't be tempted by any fast growing conifers - there are laws against these and they can cause damage to drains and the house foundations not just for you but for your neighbours as well - last thing you need is a claim against you for damage!
Generally as you look at your house from the front, the boundary you own is to the left. However, there are exceptions and you should ask a solicitor to look at the deeds for clarity and to pacify your neighbour.
As mentioned above, you can erect a fence on your property, on your side of the boundary providing it does not exceed 2.00m in height, without any approvals from your neighbour. You must not damage or interfere with the existing boundary if it is her's though. If she decides to remove the old fence and use the new boundary though, you need to get a solictor to confirm in writing that this new boundary is in your property and thus under your ownership.
Be careful, and always seek legal clarification 1st, particularly with awkward neighbours.
