Tir Penrhos Isaf aerial photo 1986

Above is an aerial photo of Tir Penrhos Isaf taken on 4th October 1986. We bought the land in Febuary of that year. At that time you can see that the 7.2 acres of grazing were completely surrounded by the coniferous plantation of Coed Y Brenin. The mature trees on the site show up quite clearly, the largest, just above centre, is an oak that partially covers the barn. Other trees are ash, hazel, birch and more oak. The rougher looking patch on the lower right is the wilderness regeneration project, Argel, in its first season without grazing animals for many decades, perhaps even centuries. The darker green splodges are gorse, the orange is bracken.
