Hill Farms (1)
One of three pictures of Hill Farms on the south side of the Preseli Hills (Pembrokeshire, Wales).
There is a long history of farming in this part of Wales going back to the Stone Age. The landscape has undergone many changes from the clearing of the woodland that grew here after the end of the last ice age through to the enclosures which established many of the field boundaries that we now see. More recently, we have seen a shift partly as a result of mechanisation/industrialisation (the move in farming to 'industry') and partly to the ever declining profitability of farming.
