A self-confessed "land pirate" has taken over a patch of abandoned land for his own but the neighbouring farmer is not happy about it and has dumped a load of rotting silage bales to stop him.
Neil Parker, from Cardigan in Ceredigion, said he took "adverse possession" of a small patch of rough land which he considers to be neglected and having had "no evidence of activity for decades". He is perfectly entitled to do so, Mr Parker said.
Adverse possession is a legal principle whereby a person who does not have legal title can become the owner of land by being in possession of it for long enough to oust the title of the true owner.
