[QUOTE="Y Fan Wen, post: 4209296, member: 741"] I once went on a day course on rural history run by UCNW Bangor which included a tour round the Snowdonia massif. The lecturer explained that the difference between adjacent mountain farms where one side of a wall was covered in isolated thorn trees and the other side had none was 'cos one had been abandoned in the late 19C and the other side had not. I had always assumed that it was the early 20C depression that caused it but he said that one didn't last long enough. My home farm is an amalgamation of 6 former tenanted holdings. The last one to be taken in hand in the mid 30s had been abandoned in the previous century and was covered in thorns. The last occupant's son told me about he and his father working with a horse and chain dewilding it. [/QUOTE]
