A landowner blocked the entrance to a beauty spot that was being ''trashed'' by visitors.
Bizarre on Female First
Allan Titley was so sick of people making a mess of his land that he cornered off the entrance with 60 tons of slate.
The man - who is a sheep farmer - used a digger to block the only access to Blue Lake, a spectacular flooded quarry, in Gwynedd, North Wales.
Mr Titley said: ''Litter is everywhere now. In the whole of Wales, I don't think there's a beauty spot that hasn't been trashed.
''We also have problems such as dogs chasing sheep. People have no education and just don't care about the countryside.
''I have never stopped anyone going to the lake before but in the past visitors used to respect it. In the past 10 years it has gradually got worse and worse.''
